Patients with a history of chronic disease of the immune system other than MS , which requires systemic immunosuppressive treatment, or a known immunodeficiency syndrome. 3. History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases. 4. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 7%). 5. Diagnosis of macular edema during Screening Phase (patients with a history of macular edema will be allowed to enter the study provided that they do not have macular edema at the ophthalmic screening visit). 6.
