To be eligible to participate in this study, candidates must meet the following eligibility criteria at the time of randomization (Day 1) or at the timepoint specified in the individual eligibility criterion listed:
1. Ability of parents or legal guardians to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (PHI) in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations. Subjects will provide assent in addition to the parental or guardian consent, as appropriate, as per local regulations.
2. Males and females aged from 10 to less than 18 years old at the time of informed consent or assent.
3. Must have a body weight of =30 kg.
4. Must have a diagnosis of RRMS (consensus definition for pediatric RRMS
[Krupp 2007]).
5. Must be ambulatory with a baseline EDSS score between 0 and 5.5, inclusive.
6. Must have experienced at least 1 relapse within the last 12 months prior to Day 1, with a prior brain MRI demonstrating lesions consistent with MS, or show evidence of Gd enhancing lesions of the brain on an MRI performed within the 6 weeks prior to Day 1.
7. Must be neurologically stable, with no evidence of relapse within 50 days prior to Day 1 and no evidence of corticosteroid treatment within 30 days prior to Day 1.
8. Subjects of childbearing potential who are sexually active must be willing to practice effective contraception during the study and be willing and able to continue contraception for at least 30 days after their final dose of study treatment.

Medical history
1. Primary progressive, secondary progressive, or progressive relapsing MS (as defined by [Lublin and Reingold 1996]). These conditions require the presence of continuous clinical disease worsening over a period of at least 3 months. Subjects with these conditions may also have superimposed relapses but are distinguished from relapsing remitting subjects by the lack of clinically stable periods or clinical improvement.
2. Disorders mimicking MS, such as other demyelinating disorders (e.g., acute disseminated encephalomyelitis), systemic autoimmune disorders (e.g., Sjögren disease, lupus erythematosus), metabolic disorders (e.g., dystrophies), and infectious disorders.
3. History of premalignant or malignant disease. Subjects with basal cell carcinoma that has been completely excised prior to screening will remain eligible.
4. History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions, or known drug hypersensitivity.
5. History of abnormal laboratory results indicative of any significant endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, renal, and/or any other major disease that would preclude participation in a clinical study.
6. History of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, GI, dermatologic, growth, developmental, psychiatric (including depression), neurologic (other than MS), and/or other major disease that would preclude participation in a clinical study.
7. History of human immunodeficiency virus.
8. History of drug or alcohol abuse (as defined by the Investigator) within the 2 years prior to Day 1.
9. An MS relapse that has occurred within 50 days prior to Day 1 AND/OR the subject has not stabilized from a previous relapse prior to Day 1.
10. History or positive test result at Screening for hepatitis C virus antibody or hepatitis B virus (defined as positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb]). Subjects with immunity to hepatitis B from either active vaccination (defined as negative HBsAg, positive hepatitis B surface antibody [HBsAb] and negative HBcAb) or from previous natural infection (defined as negative HBsAg, positive HBsAb IgG, and positive HBcAb) are eligible to participate in the study (definitions are based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]’s interpretation of the hepatitis B serology panel [CDC 2007]; Appendix 4, Section 25]).
11. Any of the following abnormal blood test results at Screening:
- ALT, AST, or gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) =2 × ULN
- leukocytes <3500/mm3
- eosinophils >0.7 × 103/µL or >0.7 GI/L
12. Any of the following abnormal urine tests at Screening confirmed by a second urinalysis approximately 2 weeks later:
- proteinuria (1+ or greater)
- hematuria, without known etiology
- glycosuria, without known etiology
Note: If a subject has a positive test at Screening and the etiology is known (e.g., due to menses or urinary tract infection in the case of hematuria or due to recent steroid use or elevated serum glucose in the case of glycosuria), a repeat test is not required.
Treatment history
13. Any previous treatment with Fumaderm® or BG00012.
14. Prior treatment with any of the following:
- total lymphoid irradiation
- cladribine
- T-cell or T-cell receptor vaccinati

Name Time Method Main Objective: The main objectives of the study are as follows:<br>• To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effect on the disease course of BG00012 in pediatric subjects with RRMS, as compared with a disease modifying treatment.<br>• To assess PK and PD parameters in a representative subset of pediatric subjects<br>• To assess health outcomes and evolution of disability<br>;Secondary Objective: Not Applicable;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of subjects free of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions on brain MRI scans at Week 96.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 1 (baseline visit), weeks 24, 48, 72, 96
