NCT ID NCT05162638

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study collects lymph fluid from the chest of 24 people (some with multiple sclerosis, some healthy) to compare immune cells. Researchers want to understand how the immune system behaves in MS and how an approved MS drug (ofatumumab) changes those cells. The goal is to learn more about the disease, not to provide direct treatment.
