Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluate Changes in Number of Combined Unique Active Lesions on Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    This extension study was discontinued due to financial constraints of the company. Of the 38 patients dosed, 32 did not complete all 5 doses. Of the 6 patients that completed the 5 doses, 5 patients did not have a Wk 52 MRI and therefore, no efficacy results are summarized as there is no comparison data.

    Annually

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Evaluate Changes in Rate and Severity of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Progression

    Annually

  • Evaluate Changes in Annualized Relapse Rate

    Annually

Study Arms (1)

Tovaxin, open-label

EXPERIMENTAL

Tovaxin; 30-45 million autologous myelin reactive T cells

Biological: Tovaxin

Interventions

TovaxinBIOLOGICAL

2 mL subcutaneous injections administered by a healthcare provider at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, and 24 every year as required.

Also known as: Autologous TCV, T Cell Vaccine
