A phase II randomised controlled trial of amiloride as a neuroprotective treatment in optic neuritis – studying in vivo neurodegeneration, neuroprotection and cortical plasticity after an inflammatory insult to the visual system

Abstract:

Basic science and early clinical trial evidence suggest the safe diuretic drug amiloride, may exert a neuroprotective effect in multiple sclerosis (MS) through blockade of the acid sensing ion channel. Neuroprotective treatments are a key unmet need in multiple sclerosis. Optic neuritis (ON) is a discrete CNS inflammatory event leading to neuro­axonal injury in the optic nerve and retina.

The optic nerve is part of the visual system, one of the most functionally and structurally el...
