Clinical Trials - Phase 1

Your participation in clinical trials can help find a cure for MS.

A clinical trial (also called clinical research or a clinical study) aims to ensure treatments that are administered are safe and effective. Trials can also be used to learn how the body and disease responds to a treatment. This may open a window into the disease and how it works with the aim to develop better treatments.

Clinical trials are undertaken in carefully monitored and regulated phases:

Phase I trials are the first of several hurdles a new treatment must jump before it can reach patients, making it a critical step in the life of promising new treatments. The intention of Phase I is to find out the safe dosage, side effects, how the body copes with the treatment and if the treatment affects MS.
