Quantum BioPharma announced that its collaborative MS imaging study with Massachusetts General Hospital has reached midpoint enrollment, with preliminary data showing promising signals in acute MS lesions and potential sensitivity to gray matter lesions, which could accelerate development of MS therapies including its candidate Lucid-MS.

Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) announced today that patient enrollment in its collaborative multiple sclerosis imaging study with Massachusetts General Hospital has reached the halfway mark. Preliminary imaging data from the study show encouraging signal in acute MS lesions and potential sensitivity to gray matter lesions, according to the company.
The study is evaluating a novel PET imaging technique using the [¹⁸F]3F4AP tracer to directly assess demyelination. Quantum BioPharma believes this approach could enhance the development of MS therapies, including its investigational candidate Lucid-MS. The company submitted an Investigational New Drug application for a Phase 2 trial of Lucid-MS to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2026.
