Can a new MS drug help you walk better and avoid falls?
NCT ID NCT06629428
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether ublituximab, a drug for relapsing multiple sclerosis, can improve walking function and reduce fall risk. Twenty-five participants will receive the drug for 48 weeks, with walking, disability, and thinking tests before, during, and after treatment. They will also be exposed to a simulated slip on a treadmill to see how well they recover.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ublituximab
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that ublituximab improves walking and reduces falls in people with relapsing MS.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to measure walking changes, not to prove long-term disease control.
