Multiple sclerosis

This study tested the drug alemtuzumab in children aged 10 to 18 with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) whose disease was still active despite other treatments. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce new brain lesions and improve quality of life. However, the tria…

This study tests whether an additional dose of a COVID-19 vaccine can improve immune protection in adults and children with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and others who are taking immunosuppressive medications. Participants who had a we…

This study tested whether injections of MYOBLOC (botulinum toxin type B) can safely reduce muscle tightness in the arm and hand of adults with spasticity caused by stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, or other conditions. The trial planned to enroll about 300 participants bu…

This study tested whether clemastine fumarate, an allergy medication, could improve eye movement problems in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The trial planned to enroll 80 MS patients with a specific eye condition called internuclear ophthalmoparesis, but was terminated earl…

This study tested a long-acting form of glatiramer acetate (GA Depot) given as a monthly shot to people with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). The goal was to see if it could safely slow down worsening disability. The trial was stopped early, but it involved 30 adult…

This phase 2 trial tested telitacicept (RC18) in 8 people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The drug aims to reduce relapses by targeting B cells. The study was terminated early, so we have limited data on safety and effectiveness.

This was a very early Phase 1 study testing the safety of a drug called bryostatin in just 4 people with multiple sclerosis. Participants received multiple doses over 26 weeks. The study was terminated, meaning it stopped early, so we don't have clear results on whether the drug …

This study tested whether adding melatonin to the standard drug ocrelizumab could safely slow disability in people with progressive primary multiple sclerosis. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. Participants were adults aged 18–65 with this type of MS.

This early-phase study tested whether a fecal transplant from a healthy donor could be safe and affect the immune system in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Only 5 participants were enrolled before the study was stopped. The goal was to see if changing gut bact…

This study tested the drug natalizumab in 21 Japanese adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal was to see if injections under the skin every 4 weeks could reduce new brain lesions over 24 weeks, and to check safety for up to 48 weeks. The study was termin…

This study tested an oral drug called SAR443820 in 174 adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) to see if it could lower a marker of nerve damage in the blood. The trial was stopped early because the drug did not meet its main goal of reducing that marker. Participants were followed f…

This study tests whether a tear sample can diagnose primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) as accurately as a spinal tap. Currently, doctors need to collect spinal fluid to confirm this type of MS, which is invasive and uncomfortable. Researchers will compare proteins in tea…

This study tested a wearable device that sits on the neck to detect swallowing problems in people with conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, or dementia. The device was compared to a standard X-ray test. Unfortunately, the device did not meet the a…

This study tested whether a 4-month exercise program done at home could help Hispanic/Latino adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) improve their physical function, manage symptoms, and feel better overall. Participants worked with coaches via video calls and compared results to a c…

This study tested a rehabilitation program for hand sensitivity problems in people with multiple sclerosis. The program used TENS (a mild electrical stimulation device) and hand exercises to improve the ability to feel and recognize objects. The goal was to improve quality of lif…

This study aimed to see if the drug ozanimod could help reduce fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers planned to follow 26 adults with MS for three months, measuring fatigue using special questionnaires and brain scans. The study was terminated early, so resu…

This study aimed to understand how well patients tolerate biopsies for autoimmune diseases and whether they feel properly informed. It planned to enroll 505 people but was terminated early. The results may help improve patient experience with these common procedures.

This study used a special MRI technique to look at tiny brain changes in people who recently had a first episode of symptoms that could lead to multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers compared 84 participants (patients and healthy controls) to see if early memory problems are linked…

This small, early-terminated study explored whether measuring certain receptors on immune cells could predict disease activity and rebound risk in multiple sclerosis patients taking or stopping ozanimod. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 23 adults with relapsing-remitting M…

This study looked at how stress, hormonal cycles, illness, and missed medications might affect when symptoms appear or get worse in women with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS). Researchers planned to track 80 women over time, recording daily symptom changes. The stu…

This study looked at whether special MRI scans can detect early brain changes in people with multiple sclerosis who are starting treatment with Tysabri. Researchers planned to follow 70 patients for two years, comparing MRI images before and after treatment. The goal was to find …

This study tested a wearable device called Syde® in 86 people with multiple sclerosis. Participants wore the device for one month every six months over two years. The goal was to see if the device's activity data matches standard clinic tests like walking speed and disability sco…
