RELEASE MSS1 (NCT04657666) · Spasticity in Participants With Multiple Sclerosis
The lead readout missed its primary endpoint. The grade and rationale below record what the trial was designed to show and what it found.
RELEASE MSS1 (NCT04657666): The study randomized 68 participants to receive nabiximols and matching placebo in a blinded crossover design. Its clinical primary endpoint was not met: lower-limb muscle tone improved by a similar amount with nabiximols and placebo, with p=0.7152.
