What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new oral treatment option to reduce brain lesions and control relapses in multiple sclerosis.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 109 participants, so results may not hold in larger studies. The drug may not outperform existing treatments or could have side effects.
