Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are scientific studies designed to test the safety and efficacy of new agents for treating disease. Many clinical trials in multiple sclerosis are ongoing throughout the world.
Here we provide two sources of ongoing clinical trials in MS:
one that lists trials that are currently enrolling people with MS, and a chart that includes general information on agents in current, recent or planned clinical trials for MS.
These lists are prepared from summary information provided annually to the National MS Society by the investigators involved, and are by no means all-inclusive of ongoing MS trials.
