Study of the Safety and Efficacy of MLN1202 in Patients in Multiple Sclerosis
- Conditions
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Interventions
- Drug: MLN1202
- Registration Number
- NCT01199640
- Lead Sponsor
- Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This was a phase 2a study of MLN1202 to determine safety, tolerability and initial efficacy in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It was conducted in 2 dose cohorts enrolling a total of 50 patients. Efficacy was assessed by comparing the numbers of new gadolinium-enhancing brain lesions during the screening and treatment periods.
