  • Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
  • Number of subjects for this age range: 190
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

排除标准

  • 1. Patients with progressive MS.
  • 2. Patients with an active, chronic disease (or stable but treated with immune therapy) of the immune system other than MS (e.g. Sjögren’s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus) or with a known immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS, hereditary immune deficiency, drug induced immune deficiency) or tested positive for HIV.
  • 3. Patients with widespread and symmetric white matter alterations in the Screening MRI suggestive of other demyelinating disorders (e.g. metabolic disorders, mitochondrial disorders).
  • 4. Patients meeting the definition of ADEM (Krupp et al 2013); patients meeting critieria for neuromyelitis optica (Wingerchuk et al 2006) or tested positive for aquaporin 4 (AQP4) at Screening.
  • 5. Patients who have detectable antibodies to IFN ß at Screening.
  • 6. Patients treated with:
  • o Systemic corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the 30 days prior to Screening MRI scan
  • o High dose intravenous immunoglobulin within 2 months prior to randomization
  • o Natalizumab within 3 months prior to randomization
  • o Immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory medications such as cladribine, cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, azathioprine, methotrexate, rituximab, ofatumumab, ocrelizumab, alemtuzumab, teriflunomide or dimethyl fumarate at any time
  • o The following antiarrhythmic drugs at Screening: Class Ia (e.g. quinidine, disopyramide) or Class III (e.g. amiodarone, sotalol) anti-arrhythmics
  • o Concurrently treated with heart-rate-lowering drugs at Screening e.g.: Beta blockers, heart-rate lowering calcium channel blockers (e.g. verapamil, diltiazem or ivabradine), digoxin, anticholinesteratic agents, pilocarpine.
  • Advice from a cardiologist should be sought regarding the switch to non-heartrate lowering medicinal products.
  • 7. Patients diagnosed with macular edema during the pre-randomization phase.
  • 8. Patients with active systemic bacterial, viral or fungal infections, including tuberculosis.
  • 9. Patients who have not completed their vaccination schedule based on the local recommendations.
  • 10. Patients who are negative for varicella-zoster virus, mumps, measles, or rubella, diphtheria, tetanus or pertussis IgG antibodies at Screening.
  • 11. Patients who have received any live or live attenuated vaccines (including for varicella-zoster virus or measles) within one month prior to randomization.
  • 12. Patients with a history or presence of malignancy.
  • 13. Patients with any medically unstable condition, as assessed by the primary treating physician at each site.
  • 14. Patients with any severe cardiac disease or significant findings on the screening ECG, such as:
  • o History of symptomatic bradycardia or recurrent syncope
  • o Known ischaemic heart disease
  • o History of congenital heart disease (except conditions such as small patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, or an ECG or rhythm abnormality, which have been assessed by a pediatric cardiologist and considered to be clinically insignificant).
  • o Cerebrovascular disease
  • o History of myocardial infarction
  • o Congestive heart failure
  • o History of cardiac arrest
  • o Uncontrolled hypertension despite prescribed medications
  • o Resting (sitting) heart rate <55 bpm (in patients 12 years or older) and <60 bpm (in patients below 12 years)
  • o Severe untreated sleep apnea.
  • o Sick sinus syndrome or sino-atrial heart block
  • o QTc interval >450 msec in males and >460 msec in females or relevant risk factors for QT prolongation (e.g. hy
