About this event
Introducing Octopus: How a ‘mega trial’ will help us stop MS sooner
The MS Society’s sixth Stop MS lecture will be taking place virtually on Wednesday 2 June from 6.30pm.
We are excited to announce that the lecture will be presented by Professor Jeremy Chataway, MS clinical lead at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, and Professor Max Parmar, Director of the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL, lead investigators of our ground-breaking new multi-arm, multi-stage trial, Octopus, that will transform the way we test treatments for progressive MS.
Our Stop MS appeal aims to find effective treatments to slow or stop disability progression for everyone with MS. Octopus will be vital in helping us to achieve our aim by combining multiple trials into one efficient trials platform and making it possible to test new treatments up to three times faster than we do currently. Join Professor Chataway and Parmar as they explain our Octopus journey so far - from bringing together experts from different fields to plan the trial, developing Octopus’ complicated design and getting the trial ready to open to participants later this year.
After the lecture, there will be a Q&A panel session with our esteemed Scientific Ambassadors, where guests will be invited to ask any questions they may have.
