As part of the OCTOPUS trial, PLATYPUS will test multiple treatments with the aim to find one that can slow down, and ultimately stop, the progression of disability in people with primary or secondary progressive MS.Â
The trial aims to be a more efficient kind of clinical trial by using the multi-arm, multi-stage (MAMS) approach. It will run over a number of years. The trial has two stages and has now progressed to the second stage.Â
