Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a combination of two drugs (dasatinib and quercetin) is safe and can help improve physical and thinking abilities in older adults with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The drugs work by removing aged, damaged cells that may fuel inflammation and slow nerve repair. The study enrolls 30 people aged 50-85 who are not on MS therapies and have worsening symptoms. Participants take the drugs every two weeks for three months and are followed for one year.
