A new treatment under investigation for multiple sclerosis (MS) is safe and tolerable in phase 1 clinical trials, according to a study. Studies with animals showed that the drug may be able to reverse the demyelination of the nerves. Current treatments for MS work to reduce new damage to the brain, but do not repair new or past damage.
