Sharing data from MS clinical trials: Opportunities, challenges, and future directions.

The treatment of people affected by multiple sclerosis, particularly the relapsing forms of the disease, has been transformed by the availability of various therapeutic agents.

Although the research community has many reasons to take pride in this progress, a fundamental question remains about whether opportunities for additional research are being lost due to inadequate clinical trial data sharing.
