Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Relapse Free Subjects (no Relapse)

    A relapse was defined for the purposes of this study as the appearance or reappearance of one or more neurological symptoms or worsening of an old symptom attributed to multiple sclerosis (MS) persisting for at least 48 hours and immediately preceded by a relatively stable or improving neurological state of at least 30 days.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Effect on the Combined Unique Lesion Activity on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    1 year

You may qualify if:

  • Symptoms consistent with Multiple Sclerosis up to 5 years
  • Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis according to McDonald criteria.
  • Diagnosis of relapsing-remitting (RR) multiple sclerosis (MS) (Defined as periods of worsening of neurological function with full recovery or with sequelae and residual deficit upon recovery; periods between disease relapses characterized by lack of disease progression
  • Kurtzke Extended Disability Status Scale (EDSS) \< 5.0
  • Females or males; females of childbearing potential must use adequate contraception
  • Clinically stable for at least 30 days prior to entry
  • At least 9 hyperintense T2 lesions on MRI or 1 Gd-enhancing lesion according to McDonald/Barkhof dissemination-in-space criteria at entry
  • Patients who have been informed about available treatments and decided, not to go on these treatments
  • Written informed consent obtained prior to the initiation of any study related procedures

You may not qualify if:

  • Females who are pregnant, breast feeding, or if, of childbearing potential, unwilling to practice adequate contraception throughout the study
  • Prior therapy with azathioprine or any immunosuppressant agents within 6 months prior to study entry
  • Prior steroid, methylprednisolone or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy within 30 days prior to study entry
  • Therapy with interferons (Betaseron®, Avonex®, Rebif®), glatiramer acetate (Copaxone®) or IGIV within 3 months prior to study entry or during the study
  • Use of an investigational compound within 6 months prior to study entry
  • Previous lymphoid irradiation or prior to treatment with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate or mitoxantrone
  • Cardiac insufficiency (NYHA III/IV), cardiomyopathy, significant cardiac dysrhythmia requiring treatment, unstable or advanced ischemic heart disease (CCS III or IV), or malignant hypertension
  • History of renal insufficiency or serum creatinine levels greater than 2.5 mg/dL (221 µmol/L)
  • Known selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency or known antibodies to IgA
  • Conditions whose symptoms and effects could alter protein catabolism and/or immunoglobulin G (IgG) utilization (e.g., protein-losing enteropathies, nephrotic syndrome)
  • Any medical, psychiatric or other circumstances which impede or restrict the patient's participation in the study or any contraindication to contrast enhanced MRI (e.g.,pacemaker, aortic clip or any metal implant)
  • Patients with clinically significant medical conditions including, but not limited to cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, hematological (e.g. known coagulation disorder, history of deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism), endocrine,or renal dysfunction, autoimmune disorders, severe environmental allergies or chronic infections
