Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective is to determine whether prolonged-release fampridine (10 mg twice daily) has a clinically meaningful effect on participant-reported walking ability over a 24-week study period.
The secondary objectives are: to determine whether prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg taken twice daily (BID) has a clinically meaningful effect on dynamic and static balance, physical impact of multiple sclerosis (MS), and upper extremity function over a 24-week study period; to evaluate criteria for early assessment of response to fampridine that can predict clinically meaningful benefits in walking ability and balance; to assess the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg twice daily over a 24-week treatment period.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Must have a diagnosis of primary-progressive, secondary-progressive, progressive-relapsing, or relapsing-remitting MS per revised McDonald Committee criteria \[McDonald 2001; Polman 2005\] as defined by Lublin and Reingold \[Lublin and Reingold 1996\] of at least 3 months duration
- •Must have an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 4 to 7, inclusive
- •Must have walking impairment, as deemed by the Investigator
Exclusion Criteria
- •History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- •Presence of acute or chronic hepatitis. Subjects who have evidence of prior hepatitis infection that has been serologically confirmed as resolved are not excluded from study participation
- •Known allergy to fampridine, pyridine-containing substances, or any of the inactive ingredients in the prolonged-release fampridine tablet
- •Creatinine clearance (CrCl) of \<80 mL/min
- •History of malignant disease
- •Presence of pulmonary disease
- •A body mass index (BMI) ≥40 (BMI formula: BMI = mass \[kg\]/\[height(m)\]2)
- •NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Proportion of Participants Achieving a Mean Improvement of ≥ 8 Points From Baseline on the Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12) Over 24 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline to 24 weeks
MSWS-12 is a participant self-assessment of the walking limitations due to MS during the past 2 weeks. It contains 12 items that measure the impact of MS on walking. Items are summed to generate a total score and transformed to a scale with a range of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater impact on walking. A responder is defined as a participant with a mean improvement of at least 8 points over 24 weeks compared to baseline. Baseline is defined as the mean at Screening and Day 1 visits. If a participant has a mean MSWS-12 score of \< 0.5 over the double-blind period, and a baseline MSWS-12 score of \< 8 points, the participant is counted as a responder. A participant who indicates they cannot walk at all on MSWS-12 during any double-blind visit, and who shows severe disability and an inability to walk on other efficacy assessments is counted as a non-responder. Estimated proportion obtained from binomial proportions.
Secondary Outcomes
- Proportion of Participants Achieving a Mean Improvement From Baseline of ≥ 15% in Timed Up and Go (TUG) Speed Over 24 Weeks(Baseline to Week 24)
- Change From Baseline in Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) Physical Score Over 24 Weeks(Baseline to Week 24)
- Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale (BBS) Over 24 Weeks(Baseline to Week 24)
- Change From Baseline in ABILHAND Score Over 24 Weeks(Baseline to Week 24)
