Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in Oregon: what to expect

Multiple sclerosis trials divide into relapsing and progressive forms. Relapsing MS studies test new oral and infused disease-modifying therapies, usually against an approved medicine rather than a placebo. Progressive MS has fewer approved options, so trials there test drugs meant to slow disability, protect nerves or repair myelin, and often do use a placebo. Alongside these are trials of rehabilitation, exercise, diet, fatigue and bladder treatments, and studies that simply follow people over time with MRI and blood tests.

In Oregon, recruiting multiple sclerosis studies are concentrated in Portland. 3 of the 4 are run by a drug or device company, which usually means a larger study with travel reimbursement; the rest are academic or hospital-led.

Who multiple sclerosis trials usually look for

Listings state the type of MS, an age range (commonly 18 to 55 for relapsing trials, up to 65 for progressive) and a disability score range measured by the study neurologist. Relapsing trials usually want a relapse or new MRI activity in the past one to two years. Drug trials require a washout from your current therapy, which varies from weeks to months by drug and is managed by the site. Symptom and rehabilitation trials let you stay on your treatment.

What taking part involves

Screening includes a neurological exam, blood work and an MRI. Drug trials then run one to three years with visits every one to three months, an MRI every six to twelve months and a relapse assessment whenever symptoms change. Relapses are treated as normal. The study drug, scans and visits are free, and an extension usually lets everyone continue the active treatment afterwards. Rehabilitation trials involve sessions over eight to twenty-four weeks with walking, hand and cognition tests.

Questions worth asking the study team

What the comparison treatment is; how the washout from your current therapy is handled and how long it lasts; how many MRIs are needed; whether there is an extension; and what happens if you relapse during the study.

Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of Ozanimod Compared to Fingolimod in Children and Adolescents With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
PHASE3 Loma Linda, California +4 sites NCT06408259
This trial is looking for children and adolescents with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants will take either ozanimod or fingolimod and help researchers understand how well these treatments work and their effects on the body.
Recruiting
A Study Evaluating the Real World Experience of Participants Treated With BRIUMVI® (Ublituximab-xiiy) for Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS)
N/A Birmingham, Alabama +4 sites NCT06433752
This trial is looking for people with a confirmed diagnosis of relapsing multiple sclerosis who are starting treatment with BRIUMVI®. Participants will receive the medication and share their experiences and results during the study.
Recruiting
Best Available Therapy Versus Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Sclerosis (BEAT-MS)
PHASE3 Palo Alto, California +4 sites NCT04047628
This trial is looking for adults with treatment-resistant multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either stem cell transplantation or the best available therapy and will be followed for 6 years.
Recruiting
Efficacy and Safety of Remibrutinib After Switching From Ocrelizumab in Participants Living With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis.
PHASE3 Scottsdale, Arizona +4 sites NCT06846281
This trial is looking for people with relapsing multiple sclerosis who have been treated with ocrelizumab and want to switch to remibrutinib. Participants will take remibrutinib and their health will be monitored.

Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in Oregon: common questions

How many Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials are recruiting in Oregon?
TrialFinder currently lists 4 recruiting Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials with study sites in Oregon. Results are updated regularly from ClinicalTrials.gov, the official U.S. registry of clinical studies.
Where are Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials located in Oregon?
Sites for these Multiple Sclerosis trials are spread across Oregon. Open any trial to see its full list of participating locations and contact details.
Do I need insurance to join a Multiple Sclerosis clinical trial in Oregon?
No. Study-related care is covered by the trial sponsor at no cost to participants, including the study treatment, required lab tests and study visits. Many Multiple Sclerosis trials in Oregon also compensate participants for time and travel. Health insurance is not required to search or enroll.
How do I qualify for a Multiple Sclerosis clinical trial in Oregon?
Each study sets its own criteria based on age, Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis details, prior treatments, current medications and general health. The fastest way to find out is to contact a research site directly — most will pre-screen you by phone in 10 to 15 minutes at no charge. You can also create a free TrialFinder profile to be matched automatically.
Will I get a placebo instead of MS treatment?
In relapsing MS almost never: trials compare the new drug with an approved medicine, so everyone is treated. Progressive MS trials more often use a placebo because fewer approved treatments exist, and an extension usually follows.
Do I need to stop my current MS medicine to join?
For a drug trial, yes, after a washout that depends on your current medicine and is supervised by the study neurologist. Trials of rehabilitation, diet or symptom treatments let you continue it.
What is an EDSS score?
The Expanded Disability Status Scale, a 0 to 10 score a neurologist assigns from an exam, mostly based on walking. Trials set a range, and the study neurologist scores you at screening; you do not need to know it in advance.
