Official title
Phase 2 Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial of Polyphenon E in MS
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The hypothesis is that Polyphenon E can protect brain cells in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. To test this hypothesis we are going to compare the changes in n-Acetyl-Aspartate (a chemical that reflects the number of neurons and their metabolism) over one year between people with MS treated with Polyphenon E at a dose of 400mg twice a day and people with MS treated with a matching sugar pill.
