Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Males or females, aged between 18 and 50 years.
- Diagnosis of RR-MS according to McDonald 2010 diagnostic criteria with a prior brain MRI that demonstrates lesions consistent with RRMS, both within the past year.
- No evidence of relapse during the 60 days prior to enrollment.
- EDSS score of 0-5 at screening.
- Women of childbearing potential who have a negative pregnancy test (serum HCG) at screening.
- Men or women of reproductive potential who commit to use adequate contraception during the study and for 1 month following the last day of treatment.
- Subjects must be capable of understanding the purpose and risks of the study and provide written, informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- Diagnosis of Secondary Progressive MS, Primary Progressive MS or Progressive Relapsing MS.
- Normal baseline brain MRI.
- History of any clinically significant autoimmune disease: inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, lupus or severe asthma.
- Current or prior malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin carcinoma or in situ carcinoma of the cervix that has been adequately treated.)
- Significant organ dysfunction, including cardiac, renal (eGFR ≤ 60 ml/min.), liver, central nervous system, pulmonary, vascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, or metabolic (e.g., creatinine ≥ 1.6 mg/dL; ALT or AST ≥ 1.5x the upper limit of normal), history of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, or arrhythmias within 6 months prior to enrollment.
- Steroid therapy within 60 days prior to enrollment, with the exception of corticosteroids or ACTH for relapse treatment during the course of the study.
- Known allergy to Gadolinium-DTPA
- Therapy with any immunomodulatory drugs within 3 months prior to enrollment, including but not limited to interferons, glatiramir acetate, BG-12, teriflunomide, laquinimod and IV immunoglobulin.
- Treatment at any time with immunosuppressive drugs such as cladribine, total lymphoid irradiation, monoclonal antibody treatment, mitoxantrone, Tysabri, fingolimod, cytoxan, methotrexate.
- Participation in any investigational therapy within one year prior to enrollment, unless given approval by PI.
- Known or suspected current or past alcohol or drug abuse within one year prior to enrollment.
- Any medical, psychiatric or other condition that could result in a subject not being able to comply with protocol requirements.
