Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trial
Phase II Study of Teriflunomide as Adjunctive Therapy to Glatiramer Acetate in Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis
Summary
The primary objective was to estimate the tolerability and safety of 2 doses of Teriflunomide administered once daily for 24 weeks, compared to placebo, in patients with multiple sclerosis [MS] with relapses who were on a stable dose of Glatiramer Acetate [GA].
The secondary objectives were:
to estimate the effect of the 2 doses of Teriflunomide, compared to placebo, in combination with a stable dose of GA on Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] parameters, relapse rate and patient-reported fatigue;
to perform pharmacokinetic analyses of the 2 doses of teriflunomide in combination with a stable dose of GA.
Full Description
The duration of the study period for a participant was approximatively 44 weeks broken down as follows:
Screening period up to 4 weeks,
24-week double-blind treatment period*,
16-week post-treatment elimination follow-up period.
