ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying a new medication called CC-97540 to see how safe it is, how well it works, and how it is processed in the body for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The trial is open to adults aged 18 and older who have either relapsing forms of MS or progressive forms of MS. To qualify, participants with relapsing MS need to have a certain level of disability and have shown worsening symptoms despite treatment with other strong MS medications. Those with progressive MS must also meet specific disability criteria and have forms of the disease that have not responded to treatment.
Participants in this study can expect to undergo various tests to assess their mobility and overall health. The trial is currently recruiting, so if you or someone you know has MS and meets the eligibility criteria, this could be an opportunity to contribute to important research. It’s essential to discuss with your doctor whether participating in this trial is a good option for you, considering the potential risks and benefits.
