Researchers may have hit “gold” when it comes to the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
An experimental medication called CNM-Au8 — a drinkable liquid with gold nanocrystals — has shown promising results in clinical trials in terms of improvements in MS symptoms.
The “catalytically active” liquid, developed by Clene Nanomedicine in North East, Maryland, can cross the blood-brain barrier to help improve cellular energy and restore neurological function, according to researchers.
Doctors at the University of Sydney presented the Phase 2 clinical trial findings at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting earlier in April 2024.
The clinical trials included 78 patients who had relapsing multiple sclerosis.
