入选标准

  • Males and females, 18 to 60 year old, inclusive.
  • Diagnosis of a relapsing form of multiple sclerosis as determined by revised McDonald Criteria or at least one clinical demyelinating episode with abnormal brain MRI study based on CHAMPS criteria
  • Expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score less than 6 at entry.
  • Understand and sign written informed consent prior to any testing under this protocol, including screening tests and evaluations that are not considered part of the subject's routine care.

排除标准

  • Treatment with corticosteroids within one month prior to the study. Treatment with immunomodulatory drugs within last 3 months prior to the study.
  • No history of treatment with Interferon-beta(IFN-beta) based drugs to exclude the possibility of IFN-beta neutralizing antibodies
  • Any patient who is pregnant, intend to become pregnant, or breastfeeding at any time of the study.
  • History of any significant cardiac, gastrointestinal, hepatic, pulmonary, or renal disease; immune deficiency; or other medical conditions that would preclude IFN-beta therapy.
  • Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis patients or patients with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis with lack of recent clinical relapses for more than 2 years
