NCT ID NCT07067463

First seen Dec 11, 2025 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether a daily medication called orelabrutinib can slow or prevent worsening disability in people with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), a form of MS that steadily gets worse over time. About 705 adults aged 18 to 60 with PPMS and recent disability progression will be randomly assigned to receive either orelabrutinib or a placebo for at least 12 months. The main goal is to see if the drug delays confirmed disability progression, measured by walking speed, hand function, and standard disability scales.
