ReCOVER: studying clemastine after optic neuritis
Published by MyelinWatch:
ReCOVER · Researchers are testing clemastine after an acute episode of optic neuritis. Vision-response tests and MRI will look for possible signs of repair.
What is being studied
Researchers are testing clemastine after an acute episode of optic neuritis. Vision-response tests and MRI will look for possible signs of repair.
Research stage
Testing whether it helps patients
The current listing is open to participants.
What we know so far
The Phase 2 study is currently open to participants at UCSF. Its planned tests are not evidence that clemastine improves vision or repairs myelin in patients.
What this means for patients today
This is a study, not an available treatment. The listed centre is in the United States, and participation depends on eligibility.
- Treatment or approach
- Clemastine • sudden inflammation of the optic nerve
- How it is intended to work
- Uses clemastine to block certain receptors and encourage myelin-making cells to mature
- Where the study is running
- Centre at UCSF, United States • none in Greece
