In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The underlying disease mechanisms which occur in patients with immune mediation neurological diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), are incompletely understood. For such patients, autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) has been increasingly used as a highly successful one-off treatment for some patients. This treatment aims to delete the faulty immune system with a course of chemotherapy and then 'reboot' the immune system using a patients' own stem cells (a cell with the unique ability of being a building block to create many different cells in the body) to stop further damage. Over the last 20 years more than 1800 patients with MS have been treated in Europe with high levels of success. It may be more successful than disease modifying treatment but unfortunately, a small portion of people do not respond to this treatment optimally and continue to accumulate dis
