Silent brain clues: new study hunts for early warning signs of multiple sclerosis
NCT ID NCT06395662
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 320 people whose brain scans showed signs that sometimes lead to multiple sclerosis (MS), even though they had no symptoms. Researchers analyzed blood and spinal fluid samples to find biological markers that could predict whether these silent signs would turn into MS. The goal is to better identify who needs early treatment and who can be monitored safely.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients from the OFSEP, SFSEP, RISE and TERIS cohorts with centralized validated radiologoically isolated syndrome and a standardized magnetic resonance imaging from the OFSEP or Randomized Clinical Trials database. * at least one cerebro-spinal fluid and/or serum sample at baseline available at a local or centralized biological resource center. * if present, serum sample collected at the time of clinical conversion. Exclusion Criteria: * patients with no biocollection, or with non-standardized magnetic resonance imaging acquisitions
