New ideas

Ideas that have not yet been tested in people. Some come from laboratory studies of treatments, others from human genetics, which links some genes to MS before any medicine acting on them has been tried. Most ideas at this stage do not succeed in people, but every treatment in use today started here.

Tested in the lab, not yet in people

Lab studies in animals or cells. Results in animals often do not hold in people, and these studies never change the status of an idea.

Treatments that have been tested in at least two lab studies since 2015 and have not been found in any registered trial in people.

Genes studied in the lab

Lab studies in animals or cells. Results in animals often do not hold in people, and these studies never change the status of an idea.

Genes and proteins that lab studies have targeted, with whether human genetic studies link them to MS and whether any medicine acting on them has reached trials.

Genes linked to MS that no trial has targeted

Human genetic studies link these genes to the risk of MS. No trial in the Trial Bank has tested a medicine acting on them yet.
