Treatments in Development

People are encouraged to maintain open and ongoing discussions with their MS healthcare team when exploring disease management options.

Treatments in Development

There has been a surge in the development of treatments for MS over the last two decades. Currently, there are 18 disease-modifying therapies approved by Health Canada. The development of new treatments is a time-consuming and expensive process, and there is no guarantee as to whether a treatment under trial will be approved by Health Canada. This emphasizes the importance of stimulating research that will uncover new therapeutic targets for MS. Here are some treatments in the pipeline.
