NCT ID NCT04201470

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study measured two proteins in the blood—neurofilament light chain and GFAP—that can signal nerve damage. Researchers compared 15 people with atypical MS, 30 with typical MS, and 15 healthy controls to see if these markers differ. The goal was to better understand whether atypical MS is a separate disease or a severe form of MS. No treatment was tested.
