NCT00475865

Brief Summary

The primary objective was to estimate the tolerability and safety of 2 doses of Teriflunomide administered once daily for 24 weeks, compared to placebo, in patients with multiple sclerosis \[MS\] with relapses who were on a stable dose of Glatiramer Acetate \[GA\]. The secondary objectives were:

  • to estimate the effect of the 2 doses of Teriflunomide, compared to placebo, in combination with a stable dose of GA on Magnetic Resonance Imaging \[MRI\] parameters, relapse rate and patient-reported fatigue;
  • to perform pharmacokinetic analyses of the 2 doses of teriflunomide in combination with a stable dose of GA.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Overview of Adverse Events (AE]

    AE are any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, syndrome, or illness observed by the investigator or reported by the participant during the study.

    from first study drug intake up to 112 days after last intake or up to the first intake in the extension study LTS6047, whichever occured first (40 weeks max)

  • Overview of AE With Potential Risk of Occurrence

    AE with potential risk of occurrence were defined as follows: * Hepatic disorders; * Immune effects, mainly effects on bone marrow and infection; * Pancreatic disorders; * Malignancy; * Skin disorders, mainly hair loss and hair thinning; * Pulmonary disorders; * Hypertension; * Peripheral neuropathy; * Psychiatric disorders; * Hypersensitivity.

    from first study drug intake up to 112 days after last intake or up to the first intake in the extension study LTS6047, whichever occured first (40 weeks max)

  • Liver Function: Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities (PCSA)

    PCSA values are abnormal values considered medically important by the Sponsor according to predefined criteria based on literature review. Hepatic parameters thresholds were defined as follows: * Alanine Aminotransferase \[ALT\] \>3, 5, 10 or 20 Upper Normal Limit \[ULN\]; * Aspartate aminotransferase \[AST\] \>3, 5, 10 or 20 ULN; * Alkaline Phosphatase \>1.5 ULN; * Total Bilirubin \[TB\] \>1.5 or 2 ULN; * ALT \>3 ULN and TB \>2 ULN.

    from first study drug intake up to 112 days after last intake or up to the first intake in the extension study LTS6047, whichever occured first (40 weeks max)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] Assessment: Change From Baseline in Total Lesion Volume (Burden of Disease)

    baseline (before randomization) and 24 weeks

  • Cerebral MRI Assessment: Number of Gd-enhancing T1-lesions Per Scan (Poisson Regression Estimates)

    24 weeks

  • Cerebral MRI Assessment: Volume of Gd-enhancing T1-lesions Per Scan

    24 weeks

  • Annualized Relapse Rate [ARR]: Poisson Regression Estimates

    24 weeks

  • Pharmacokinetic [PK]: Teriflunomide Plasma Concentration

    24 weeks
