The design of clinical trials is a key aspect to maximizing the possibility to detect a treatment effect. This fact is particularly challenging in progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) studies due to the uncertainty about the right target and/or outcome in phase-2 studies. The aim of this review is to evaluate the current challenges facing the design of clinical trials for PMS. The selection of patients, the instrumental and clinical outcomes that can be used in PMS trials, and issues in their design will be covered in this report.

Abstract
The design of clinical trials is a key aspect to maximizing the possibility to detect a treatment effect. This fact is particularly challenging in progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) studies due to the uncertainty about the right target and/or outcome in phase-2 studies. The aim of this review is to evaluate the current challenges facing the design of clinical trials for PMS. The selection of patients, the instrumental and clinical outcomes that can be used in PMS trials, and issues in their design will be covered in this report.
