Chronic progressive multiple sclerosis
MONDO:0005284A form of multiple sclerosis characterized by a progressive deterioration in neurologic function which is in contrast to the more typical relapsing remitting form. If the clinical course is free of distinct remissions, it is referred to as primary progressive multiple sclerosis. When the progressive decline is punctuated by acute exacerbations, it is referred to as progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis. The term secondary progressive multiple sclerosis is used when relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis evolves into the chronic progressive form. (From Ann Neurol 1994;36 Suppl:S73-S79; Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp903-914)

Can CRISPR-Edited cells stop autoimmune attacks on the brain?
Cure Not yet recruitingThis trial tests a therapy called CTX112 in adults with severe neurologic autoimmune diseases, including progressive multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, and stiff-person syndrome. CTX112 uses donor T cells edited with CRISPR to target and deplete B cells, which are thought …

One-Time CAR-T infusion tested against progressive MS
Disease control Not yet recruitingResearchers are testing a one-time CAR-T cell therapy called C-CAR168 in adults with progressive multiple sclerosis that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, engineered to target two proteins, and is given as a single intravenou…

Can engineered immune cells tame autoimmune diseases?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis trial is testing an experimental therapy called CTA313, which uses engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) to potentially reset the immune system in people with active autoimmune diseases. The study will include adults aged 18 to 75 with systemic lupus erythematosus, progressi…

New MS drug trial uses Super-Powered MRI to see inside the brain
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests an experimental drug called remibrutinib in 20 people with relapsing or progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants take the drug twice daily for 2 years and undergo powerful 7T MRI scans to measure changes in brain volume, lesions, and tissue health. The g…

Can a blood pressure pill slow MS disability?
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis phase 2 trial tests whether indapamide, a common diuretic, can slow the worsening of walking ability in people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants take one tablet daily for 12 months, with walking speed measured regularly. The study aims to see if the drug…

New gene therapy trial targets tough autoimmune conditions
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis early-stage study tests a new treatment called LVIVO-TaVec400 in 44 people with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus, multiple sclerosis, and myasthenia gravis that have not responded to standard therapies. The main goals are to check the treatment's safety and find the rig…

New Immune-Calming therapy could slow progressive MS
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis phase IIa trial tests a personalized cell therapy for people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, turned into 'tolerogenic dendritic cells' that are designed to calm the immune system and stop it from attacking the nerv…

Could Low-Oxygen breathing supercharge gait therapy for MS?
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether breathing low-oxygen air for short periods right before walking training helps people with multiple sclerosis walk better and farther. Thirty-five participants will receive either the low-oxygen breathing or a sham (placebo) version, followed by treadmill…

Can clearing old cells boost brain and body in MS? new trial aims to find out
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis early-stage trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, dasatinib and quercetin, can safely remove aged, damaged cells that may contribute to inflammation and nerve damage in people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The study enrolls 30 adults aged 50-8…

Can a simple blood test predict MS worsening?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis 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 go…
