Octopus (part 3): The patients’ experience with Dawn Lyle and Matthew Justin

MRC CTU Podcasts

Octopus is a new clinical trial for people living with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), which is designed and run by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL. Thanks to its multi-arm multi-stage platform design, Octopus has the potential to transform the way treatments for progressive MS are tested. The trial is now open in the UK and will be recruiting participants for the next few years. The podcast mini-series will explore the trial from different perspectives by talking to neurologists, MS experts and people affected by MS. In Part 3, MS experts Dawn Lyle and Matthew Justin walk us through the journey that trial participants take when taking part in Octopus, from how to register your interest in the trial, to what to expect on your first visit. - For more information and to access the transcript: bit.ly/3S6FKP4 For questions or feedback on the series, message us at [email protected] As a listener, your opinion is very valuable to us.
