Could a cancer therapy tame multiple sclerosis? new trial launches

NCT ID NCT07224373

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new treatment called AZD0120 for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) that has not responded to other therapies. AZD0120 is a type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T) designed to target and reset the immune system. The study will enroll 24 adults aged 18-60 and focus primarily on safety and tolerability over two years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AZD0120, a type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) that targets two proteins (CD19 and BCMA) on immune cells
What this could lead to
If this treatment is safe and effective, it could offer a new way to control multiple sclerosis by resetting the immune system, potentially reducing relapses and progression.
What could go wrong
This is a very early (Phase 1b) and small trial with only 24 people, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. CAR-T therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome or infections.
