Multiple Sclerosis & Neuroimmunology Trials

As part of an academic medical center, the Division of Multiple Sclerosis & Neuroimmunology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine aims to improve human health through scientific research. Clinical trials test or study drugs, surgical procedures, medical devices or interventions with human subjects. They look to determine their safety and effectiveness in relation to treating specific diseases. Clinical trials are part of clinical research and are at the heart of all medical advances.

The following list includes all the active multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology clinical trials.

Trials

Ublituximab (Briumvi) for Early Forms of Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis

The goal of this study is to understand the safety and tolerability of Ublituximab (Briumvi) in individuals with early relapsing MS. We also want to measure changes in a blood biomarker called neurofilament light chain, before and after treatment.…
