Hope for MSA: new drug aims to slow rare brain disease
NCT ID NCT07446894
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called MSA-01 to see if it can slow the worsening of multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare and serious brain disease. About 140 people with MSA will get either MSA-01 or a placebo for 12 months. The main goal is to measure changes in movement and daily function.
