This trial is looking for adults with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) to learn more about inflammation in this condition. If you join, you may undergo certain research procedures and evaluations to better understand your inflammation levels.
You may be able to join if
- I am at least 18 years old
- I have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
- I have active disease with at least one enhancing lesion in the last 6 months
- I am treatment naïve except for relapse-related treatments
- I plan to start a high efficacy disease-modifying treatment
- I can provide written consent
- I have normal clinical lab results within the last 3 months
You may not be able to join if
- I have a low binding polymorphism for TSPO
- I am allergic to certain imaging agents
- I cannot safely undergo PET, CT, or MRI scans
- My eGFR is less than 60
- I have severe claustrophobia
- I am currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- I have insulin-dependent diabetes
- I have conditions that increase my risk during research procedures

Check Your EligibilityThe goal of this observational study is to learn about inflammation in those with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does abnormal neural inflammation compare to cellular and molecular inflammation in MS? * Once treated, why does abnormal inflammation persist?
