Brief Summary
Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blinded Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of IMU-838 versus Placebo in Adults with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (ENSURE-2)
Detailed Description
This study will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a blinded Main Treatment Period (MT) and an Open Label Period (OLE) to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of IMU-838 in adult patients with RMS. The study will consist of the following periods: Screening Period: Approximately 28 days Main Treatment Period: 72 weeks (approximately 15 months) Open Label Extension Period: Up to approximately 8 years

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male or female patient (age ≥18 to ≤55 years).
- •Patients with an established diagnosis of MS according to 2017 McDonald Criteria.
- •Patients with RMS comprising of relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) and active secondary progressive MS, both defined according to Lublin criteria 1996 and
- •Active disease as defined by Lublin 2014 evidenced prior to Screening by:
- •At least 2 relapses in the last 24 months before randomization, or
- •At least 1 relapse in the last 12 months before randomization, or
- •A positive Gd+ MRI scan (brain and/or spine) in the last 12 months prior to randomization.
- •Willingness and ability to comply with the protocol.
- •Written informed consent given prior to any study-related procedure.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with non-active secondary progressive MS and primary progressive MS.
- •Any disease other than MS that may better explain the signs and symptoms, including history of complete transverse myelitis.
- •Clinical signs or presence of laboratory findings suggestive for neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disorders or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-IgG-associated encephalomyelitis
- •Any active and uncontrolled coexisting autoimmune disease, other than MS (except for type 1 diabetes mellitus and inflammatory bowel disease)
- •Use of experimental/investigational drug (with the exception of COVID-19 vaccines approved by emergency use authorization) and/or participation in drug clinical studies within 6 months prior to Screening
- •Previous or current use of MS treatments lifelong, or within a pre-specified time period.
- •Use of the pre-specified concomitant medications.
- •Clinically significantly abnormal and pre-specified lab values.
- •History of chronic systemic infections within 6 months before the date of informed consent.
- •Diagnosis or suspected liver function impairment, which may cause fluctuating liver function tests during this study.
