Researchers seeking participants
From time to time the MS Trust is asked by organisations to share information about studies that are about to start, or have started, or are wanting to recruit people. These organisations include pharma companies, companies working on their behalf known as Clinical Research Organisations, healthcare professionals and academic researchers.
In the event of this happening and in the interest of people with MS the MS Trust will seek confirmation from the organisation or individual that the study has the appropriate ethical approval and that any information or advert that we are being asked to share with you has ethical approval. In addition we will ensure that contact details are obtained should further information be required.
This is the only action that the MS Trust will take and we assume no further responsibility for the information shown.
Please note if you do require any further information about items posted here please use the contact details provided. The MS Trust has no further information and should not be contacted.
