Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials
Our center is leading or participating in several clinical trials for both relapsing remitting and primary progressive MS. Our team is particularly dedicated to finding better treatments for progressive MS. Below are some of the MS clinical trials currently active at Johns Hopkins.

Genes Linked to Most Severe Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
To determine factors linked to the most debilitating forms of MS, Johns Hopkins researchers have identified three so-called “complement system” genes that appear to play a role in MS vision loss. The researchers were able to single out these genes by using DNA from MS patients along with high-tech retinal scanning. These genes could serve as markers for monitoring and predicting progression and severity of MS.
