Multiple Sclerosis Breakthroughs - News and Research
Researchers are finding out more about multiple sclerosis (MS) all the time- from treatment breakthroughs to new theories on what causes MS and how to prevent it. Learn what is happening in the fascinating world of MS science.
Pilot Study
A pilot study is a smaller version of a larger study that is conducted to prepare for that study. They are sometimes known as feasibility studies, if the objective is to determine the likelihood of success of a larger study.

Crossover Study
Patients participate in each arm of the study in random order. They are not appropriate for testing the disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS), but may be used to test drugs and procedures targeting MS symptoms.

Doctors Not Prescribing Enough MS Drugs
A study shows that a shocking majority of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) are not taking one of the disease-modifying therapies. Learn more about the details of this study, “Analysis of NAMCS data for multiple sclerosis, 1998-2004.”

NeuroVax
NeuroVax is a therapeutic vaccine for multiple sclerosis (MS). In March 2007, Orchestra Therapeutics (formerly the Immune Response Corporation) launched a large Phase II trial in Europe to test safety and efficacy.

How Can I Find an MS Clinical Trial?
Finding an MS clinical trial is easy. All US clinical trials are listed in a database kept by the government. With a simple search, you can discover if an MS clinical trial fits your needs.

Who Can Join a Clinical Trial?
Each clinical trial needs certain types of participants. These conditions vary based on the drug being tested and may include: type of MS, severity of MS, time since diagnosis, previous treatment history and other conditions.

Understanding MS Clinical Trials
Clinical trials test new treatments and medications. It can take many years before a new treatment is released to the public. For the latest in research and the opportunities to access a new treatment, you need to understand clinical trials, how to evaluate them and how to find a clinical trial.
