The Efficacy and Safety and Tolerability of Laquinimod in Subjects With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) (CONCERTO)

Title: A Multinational, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-Controlled Study Followed by an Active Treatment Period, to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Two Oral Doses of Laquinimod (0.6 mg/d or 1.2 mg/d) in Subjects With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS)

Purpose: This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study followed by active treatment, to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two doses of oral administration of laquinimod 0.6 mg/day or 1.2 mg/day in subjects with RRMS.

Title: TRANSITION: A two-year observational study to evaluate the safety profile of fingolimod in patients with multiple sclerosis who switched from natalizumab to fingolimod

Purpose: The purpose of this world-wide prospective observational single-cohort study is to evaluate, over a period of two years, the overall safety profile of fingolimod as well as the incidence of selected safety outcomes in patients previously exposed to natalizumab under the conditions of routine medical practice.

Safety and Efficacy of AVP-923 in the Treatment of Central Neuropathic Pain in Multiple Sclerosis

Title: A Phase 2, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Four-arm, Multicenter, Dose-finding Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Three Dose Levels of AVP-923 (Dextromethorphan/Quinidine) in the Treatment of Central Neuropathic Pain in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Purpose: The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 3 doses of AVP-923 capsules in the treatment of central neuropathic pain in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Evaluation of Patient Retention of Fingolimod vs. Currently Approved Disease Modifying Therapy in Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (PREFERMS)

Title: A 12-month, Prospective, Randomized, Active-controlled, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Patient Retention of Fingolimod vs. Approved First-line Disease Modifying Therapies in Adults Who Are in Early Stages of Treatment for Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Purpose: A 12 month study where 1000 patients with relapsing remitting MS will be randomized 1:1 to fingolimod or approved disease modifying therapy. Patients will be in early stages of the disease and be treatment naïve or have only been treated with one class of DMT (Intereferon beta preparation or glatiramer acetate) for no more than 5 years total exposure. Patients will be able to switch to different treatment for safety, efficacy, tolerability or convenience during the study. Primary objective is to evaluate efficacy of fingolimod by assessing patients retention on treatment. Secondary objectives are to compare reasons for discontinuation, adverse events, cognitive impairment, medication satisfaction and change in brain volume measured by MRI.

MS Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Two Doses of Fingolimod Versus Copaxone

Title: A 12-month, Randomized, Rater- and Dose-blinded Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Fingolimod 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg Administered Orally Once Daily With Glatiramer Acetate 20 mg Administered Subcutaneously Once Daily in Patients With Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare 2 doses (0.25 mg and 0.50 mg) of fingolimod to glatiramer acetate (20 mg) and to evaluate the efficacy of fingolimod 0.25 mg for the treatment of patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS)
