Multiple sclerosis (“MS”) drugs on the market today can slow the disease down, but none of them stop it, and none of them give patients back what they have already lost. Nearly one million people in the United States, and close to 2.9 million worldwide, live with that reality, watching a disease that can gradually erode mobility, vision and basic bodily control.
That gap has just gotten a serious new challenger. Quantum BioPharma Ltd. has received FDA clearance to begin a phase 2 trial of Lucid-MS, a patented, first-in-class drug candidate aimed not at calming the immune system but at protecting and potentially repairing the myelin sheath itself. The clearance sets the stage for what would be the first time in history that a drug candidate built on this specific mechanism is tested in people living with the MS disease, a milestone significant enough that it has already drawn a fresh buy rating from Wall Street analysts.
