Brief Summary
Primary Objectives:
- To assess the efficacy of vatelizumab compared to placebo as measured by a reduction in new contrast-enhancing lesions (CELs) in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients.
- To evaluate multiple doses of vatelizumab for a dose-response. Secondary Objectives:
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of vatelizumab compared to placebo.
- To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vatelizumab.

- At least 3 T2 lesions on screening MRI.
You may not qualify if:
- Diagnosis of primary progressive or secondary progressive MS. Expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score \>5.5. Relapse within 30 days prior to enrollment. Prior immunosuppressive treatment within protocol-specified time periods. Prior treatment with natalizumab (Tysabri®). History of bleeding/platelet disorders, malignancy, certain infections as defined in the protocol, or any other past or current medical conditions that would adversely affect the patient's participation in the study.
