About Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease affecting up to an estimated 1 million individuals in the US, with females affected 2-3 times as frequently as males. Symptoms may include (not an exhaustive list):

  • Weakness
  • Fatigue
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Vision problems
  • Loss of balance
  • Difficulty concentrating or remembering
  • Seizures
  • Vertigo
  • Difficulty walking

Many of these symptoms are not consistent — they vary in strength and come and go at random.

The MS Studies is enrolling relapsing forms of MS including:

Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS):

  • The most common form of MS affecting approximately 85% of people with MS.
  • It is characterized by clearly defined attacks — also known as relapses or flare-ups — followed by periods of partial or complete recovery (remission).
