E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of plovamer acetate (0.5 mg, 3 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg) administered as weekly SC injection vs. Copaxone 20 mg administered as daily SC injection after 40 weeks of treatment on the mean number of T1 gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions per patient and scan on brain MRI scans at Weeks 24, 28, 32, 36, and 40 in patients with RRMS. |
El objetivo principal de este ensayo consiste en evaluar la eficacia del acetato de plovámero (0,5, 3, 10 y 20 mg) administrado en inyección SC semanal en comparación con Copaxone (20 mg) administrado en inyección SC diaria después de 40 semanas de tratamiento sobre el número medio de lesiones con captación de gadolinio (Gd) en T1 por paciente y estudio de imagen en las RM cerebrales realizadas en las semanas 24, 28, 32, 36 y 40 en pacientes con EMRR. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of plovamer acetate (0.5 mg, 3 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg), administered as weekly SC injection vs. Copaxone 20 mg administered as daily SC injection after 40 weeks of treatment |
Evaluar la eficacia del acetato de plovámero (0,5, 3, 10 y 20 mg) administrado en inyección SC semanal en comparación con Copaxone (20 mg) administrado en inyección SC diaria después de 40 semanas de tratamiento |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female, between the ages of 18 and 60 years. 2. Patient is able to learn and self-administer SC injections (a care-giver may be trained to inject the patient). 3. Patients must have a current diagnosis of RRMS (according to the 2010 McDonald MS diagnostic criteria).
Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply |
1.Paciente de cualquier sexo con una edad comprendida entre los 18 y 60 años. 2.El paciente es capaz de aprender y administrarse inyecciones SC (puede formarse a un cuidador para que inyecte al paciente). 3. El paciente debe tener un diagnóstico presente de EMRR (con arreglo a los criterios diagnósticos de EM de McDonald de 2010).
Otros criterios de inclusión definidos en el protocolo pueden aplicar. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients are not eligible for this trial if they fulfill any of the following exclusion criteria: 1. Any MS categorized as primary progressive, secondary progressive and progressive relapsing. 2. Any relapse of MS within 30 days of the Baseline Visit 2. 3. Allergy to mannitol, plovamer acetate, Copaxone (glatiramer acetate), Gd contrast for MRI. 4. Systemic glucocorticoid therapy within 30 days of Baseline Visit 2. Any requirement for continuous systemic glucocorticoid administration during the trial period. (Note: Treatment with interferons such as Avonex®, Rebif®, or Betaseron® will be allowed until the baseline visit, as no wash-out period is needed.) 5. Contraindication to Copaxone use.
Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply |
Un paciente no podrá participar en este ensayo en caso de cumplir cualquiera de los criterios de exclusión siguientes: 1.EM clasificada como progresiva primaria, progresiva secundaria o recidivante progresiva. 2.Cualquier recaída de la EM en los 30 días previos a la visita 2 basal. 3.Alergia al manitol, acetato de plovámero, Copaxone (acetato de glatirámero) o contraste de Gd para RM. 4.Tratamiento con glucocorticoides sistémicos en los 30 días previos a la visita 2 basal. Necesidad de administración continua de glucocorticoides sistémicos durante el período del ensayo. (Nota: Se permitirá el tratamiento con interferones, como Avonex®, Rebif® o Betaseron®, hasta la visita basal, ya que no se precisa período de lavado.) 5. Contraindicaciones para el uso del Capaxone.
Otros criterios de inclusión definidos en el protocolo pueden aplicar. |
