NCT ID NCT01118130
First seen Jan 21, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looked at 300 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) to see if certain genes make some patients more likely to develop liver injury from the drug beta-interferon. Researchers compared those who had liver problems to those who did not. The goal was to find genetic clues that could help predict and prevent this side effect in the future.
