E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the effects of ATX-MS-1467 administered intradermally, titrated to a dose of 800 μg every 2 weeks (biweekly), for a total period of 20 weeks on 1.5T MRI parameters compared to a Baseline Control Period off treatment in subjects with relapsing MS. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the effects of ATX-MS-1467 administered intradermally, titrated to a dose of 800 μg biweekly, for a total period of 20 weeks on other MRI parameters
- To evaluate the effects of ATX-MS-1467 administered intradermally, titrated to a dose of 800 μg biweekly, for a total period of 20 weeks on clinical parameters
- To evaluate the safety of ATX-MS-1467 administered intradermally, titrated to a dose of 800 μg biweekly, for a total period of 20 weeks

10. Inadequate liver function, defined by aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 times the upper limit of normal at screening or at any of the pre-treatment visits (Visits 2-4)
11. Lymphocyte count < 500/μL or neutrophil count < 1500/μL at screening or at any of the pre-treatment visits (Visits 2-4)
12. Major medical illness such as cardiac, endocrinological, hepatic, immunological (other than MS), metabolic, genito-urinary, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, dermatological, or other major
disease that would preclude participation in the trial
13. Known history of active or chronic infectious disease or any disease which compromises immune function (e.g., positive for human immunodeficiency virus, human T-lymphotrophic
virus-1, untreated Lyme disease, untreated TB or hepatic viral disease [hepatitis B and C])
14. Any renal condition that would preclude the administration of gadolinium, e.g., acute or chronic severe renal insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2)
15. History of malignancy, including both solid tumor and hematological malignancies, but excluding basal cell and in situ squamous cell carcinomas of the skin that have been excised
and resolved, in situ cervical cancer or prostatic cancer with normal prostatic specific antigen
16. Clinical evidence of severe uncontrolled depression, active suicidal ideation or suicide attempt
17. Any other significant medical or psychiatric conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude participation in the trial or impair the ability to give informed consent
18. Major surgery in the 4 weeks prior to screening (Visit 1)
19. Known hypersensitivity to the trial medication or diluents
20. Participation in another clinical trial within the 30 days prior to screening (Visit 1)
21. Pregnancy, lactation or a positive pregnancy test during screening (urine dipstick) or at Visit 4 (serum beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin [beta-hCG]), or intention to become
pregnant or to breast-feed during the course of the trial
22. Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity. |
