MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS)

This early-phase trial is testing a new cell therapy called QH103 for people with severe autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis that haven't responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and attack the fa…

This study tests whether clemastine fumarate, a common allergy medicine, can help repair the protective coating around nerves (myelin) in people with multiple sclerosis. About 74 adults with relapsing-remitting MS will receive either the drug or a placebo, and advanced MRI scans …

This study tests whether metformin, a widely used diabetes drug, is safe and feasible for children and young adults (ages 10-25) with multiple sclerosis. Participants take metformin daily for 3 to 9 months, with the start time randomly assigned. The main goal is to see if the dru…

This study tests whether listening to music or metronome sounds that match your heart rate can reduce chronic pain in people with multiple sclerosis. 45 participants will be split into three groups: one does motor imagery with a heartbeat-synced metronome, one listens to relaxing…

This study is testing whether an advanced MRI technique called Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) can better tell apart brain lesions caused by multiple sclerosis (MS) from those due to normal aging or small vessel disease. Researchers will scan 1,000 people aged 50-70 wit…

This study looks at whether a 10-minute video about palliative care can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) understand their options and make decisions that match their values. Half of the 50 participants will watch the video, and the other half will read a standard informat…

This pilot study is testing a new MRI technique called AMIRA to see if it can find spinal cord lesions in people with multiple sclerosis better than standard MRI. Ten participants will undergo both the new and standard scans. The goal is to improve how doctors detect and monitor …

This study looks at two ways to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) when it first appears after age 50. One approach starts with a moderate-strength drug and only switches to a stronger one if needed. The other starts with a strong drug right away. Researchers will compare how often re…

This study looks at whether special brain scans (MRI and PET) can predict how multiple sclerosis (MS) will affect a person's disability over many years. Researchers will follow 80 adults with MS who were in earlier studies to see if certain brain changes can forecast worsening sy…

This study compares levels of a protein called VISTA in immune cells from people with multiple sclerosis (MS) or clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and healthy volunteers. Researchers will take blood samples at the first attack and again at 6 and 12 months to see if VISTA levels …
