An oral treatment that could repair nerve damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a step closer to a Phase 2 clinical trial. Quantum Biopharma signed a manufacturing agreement covering an oral formulation of its investigational small molecule Lucid-21-302, also known as Lucid-MS, as it prepares for the Phase 2…

A new positron emission tomography (PET) tracer may help determine the extent of nerve fiber loss in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, something that can’t be identified with conventional MRI imaging, according to a new study. Researchers think the new imaging tech could help track the efficacy of experimental therapies…

People who develop multiple sclerosis (MS) begin using healthcare services more frequently up to 15 years before their first MS symptoms appear, a study from the University of British Columbia (UBC) suggests. The findings add to evidence that early signs of MS may go unnoticed for many years.
