排除标准

  • Patients ever treated with Glatiramer Acetate or Mitoxantrone.
  • Patients treated with interferons or IV immunoglobulins (IV Ig) in the previous 4 weeks prior to screening visits.
  • Patients treated with methotrexate or azathioprine in the previous 6 months prior to screening visits.

  • Female patients must be non-pregnant, non-lactating, have a negative screening pregnancy test, and must use contraceptive methods deemed reliable by the investigator.
  • Male patients and their partners must use contraceptive methods deemed reliable by the investigator
  • LVEF < 50%
  • Patients using catheters or Foley catheters
  • Patients who have any other known significant systemic medical disease which may confound the evaluation of the study results such as: ALS, cervical spondylitic myelopathy, syphilis, arteritis, cerebellar syndrome (i.e., due to heredodegeneration), B12/folate deficiency, lyme disease, HTLV 1-myelopathy
  • Patients with immune deficiency or other medical condition that would preclude treatment with Mitoxantrone or Glatiramer Acetate
  • Abnormal screening blood tests exceeding any of the limits defined below:
  • Alanine transaminase (ALT) - twice the upper limit of normal Aspartate transaminase (AST) - twice the upper limit of normal Total white blood cell count < 2.3 x 103/uL Baseline neutrophil counts of < 1.5 x103/uL Platelet count < 80 x 103/uL Creatinine >1.5 mg/dL Prothrombin time greater than 150% upper limit of normal
