Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis 2010
We’re pleased to present our annual listing of Clinical Trials in MS 2010 (PDF), featuring ongoing MS trials, as well as those that are being planned or that have been recently completed. This year’s list of 129 studies indicates an exciting time in MS research, with therapies progressing through the drug development pipeline. Here are some of the highlights:
· 58 studies of oral drugs for treating MS or its symptoms, up from 37 in 2008
· Novel agents being tested for neuroprotective capabilities, including two trials of green tea extracts and one of the pain reliever fluripitine maleate; and a study of the antioxidant idebenone in people with primary-progressive MS.
· Novel agents being tested for neuroprotective capabilities, including two trials of green tea extracts and one of the pain reliever fluripitine maleate; and a study of the antioxidant idebenone in people with primary-progressive MS.
This list is prepared from materials provided by investigators, published literature and public presentations. While we strive for accuracy and completeness, there are trials that were not included because we were unable to gather sufficient information about them, and there may be inaccuracies due to changes in protocol.
Clinical Trial Participation Resources on Our Web Site
Because recruitment information changes frequently, we do not indicate which studies on this list are enrolling patients. For that information, go to the Clinical Trials section of our Web site, where there is a database of recruiting studies that is searchable by state, type of MS, or keyword, and MS Trial Alerts about specific studies. This section also includes a brochure and an online course to guide people through the process of deciding whether to enroll in a clinical trial.
