NCT ID NCT05119569
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 2 trial tests fenebrutinib, an oral drug, in 109 people with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks, and researchers measure new brain lesions on MRI scans. The goal is to see if fenebrutinib can reduce disease activity and control relapses.

- 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
