High Dose Chemo/Radiotherapy and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

NCT00040482

Non-randomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that may be caused by the immune system reacting against the nervous system. It is possible, that by changing the immune system we can modify the progression of this disease. In this study, we will try to learn whether treatment with a bone marrow transplant (BMT) can help patients with multiple sclerosis. We will also try to learn what the side effects are of this treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis.
