Can a simple blood test predict MS worsening?

NCT ID NCT07535242

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study will check if three substances in the blood (GFAP, NfL, and VEGF) are linked to how quickly disability gets worse in people with progressive multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure these markers and compare them to standard tests of disability and thinking. The goal is to find better ways to track the disease, not to test a new treatment.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help identify blood tests that track disease worsening in progressive MS, guiding future treatment decisions.

What could go wrong

This is a very small observational study (22 people) that has not yet started. It only looks for links between markers and disability, not a treatment. Results may not apply to all MS patients.
