Interim Octopus Trial Results Show Potential for Alpha-lipoic Acid as a Treatment for Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

​​17th September 2026
 

We are excited by the fantastic interim results from the Octopus trial announced today, as alpha-lipoic acid has shown an initial positive effect in progressive multiple sclerosis and will be continued into further stages.​​

This is the official logo of the Octopus Trial. The word Octopus is displayed in bold, rounded white font, set against a navy blue background. The base of the first upper case O has three legs hanging from it, similar to an Octopus.

Public Collaborators

People living with multiple sclerosis are partners in our research: helping shape the questions, the science and the impact.

​

​

We recognise that we cannot truly understand the needs of people living with MS in our community unless our Public Collaborators Council has representatives from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, including often overlooked groups.
