A promising MS treatment under development called ATA188 has improved or stabilised 20 of 24 MS patients treated with it in a phase 1 trial. MS is normally a progressive disease.

The treatment takes T cells from healthy donors and uses them to destroy EBV-infected cells believed to cause MS.

This could help those of us whose ME/CFS was EBV triggered.

The treatment is registering MS patients for a phase 2 trial. Unfortunately this trial will run till at least 2026 and be followed by a (fast tracked) phase 3 trial.
