A Multi-center Double-blind Parallel-group Placebo-controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Teriflunomide in Patients With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Who Are Treated With Interferon-beta


Primary Objective:

Assess the effect of Teriflunomide in comparison to placebo on frequency of Multiple
Sclerosis (MS) relapses in patients with relapsing forms of MS who are treated with
interferon beta (IFN-β).

Secondary Objectives:

- Assess the effect of Teriflunomide in comparison to placebo when added to interferon
beta (IFN-β) on:

- Disease activity as measured by brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI),

- Disability progression,

- Burden of disease and disease progression as measured by brain MRI.

- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of Teriflunomide when added to IFN-β therapy.

- Assess the pharmacokinetics of Teriflunomide in use in addition to baseline IFN-β
therapy.

- Assess associations between variations in genes and clinical outcomes (safety and
efficacy).

- Assess other measures of efficacy of Teriflunomide such as fatigue and health-related
quality of life.

- Assess measures of health economics (hospitalization due to relapse, including the
length of stay and any admission to ICU).


The study period per patient is expected to be between 56 and 160 weeks depending on when
the patient is randomized and this would include the following:

- a screening period up to 4 weeks,

- a treatment period expected to be between 48 and 152 weeks,

- 4-week post washout follow-up period.

Patients will continue on treatment until a fixed common end date which will be
approximately 48 weeks after randomization of the last patient.

For those patients who complete the treatment period, a long term extension study of
approximately 1 year (including Teriflunomide alone) is planned to be proposed.

Inclusion criteria :

Patient with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) treated with Interferon beta
(IFN-β) defined by:

- Stable dose of IFN-β for at least 6 months prior to randomization, and

- Disease activity in the 12 months prior to randomization and after first 3 months of
IFN-β treatment (at least one relapse supported by Expanded Disability status Scale
(EDSS) or equivalent neurological examination, or, at least one brain or spinal cord
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with at least one T1 gadolinium enhancing lesion).

Exclusion criteria:

- < 18 years of age or ≥ 56 years of age.

- McDonald criteria for MS diagnosis not met at time of screening visit.

- EDSS score > 5.5 at randomization visits.

- A relapse within 30 days prior randomization.

- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive patient.

- Prior use within 6 months preceding randomization or concomitant use of natalizumab
or any other immunosuppressive agents such as azathioprine, cyclophosphamide,
cyclosporine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, or fingolimod.

- Prior use in the 3 months preceding randomization of cytokine therapy (except
baseline IFN-β), glatiramer acetate or intravenous immunoglobulins, or concomitant
use of these treatments.

- Prior use within 2 years preceding randomization or concomitant use of cladribine and
mitoxantrone.

- Pregnant or breast-feeding women or those who plan to become pregnant during the
study.
