An Open-Label, Randomized, Multi-Center, Parallel-Arm Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Glatiramer Acetate 40 mg/mL Three Times a Week Compared to 20 mg/mL Daily Subcutaneous Injections in Subjects With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
This is an open-label, randomized, multi-center, parallel-arm study to assess the safety and
tolerability of a daily dose of Glatiramer Acetate (GA) 40 mg/mL three times a week (TIW)
administered subcutaneously (SC) as compared to GA 20 mg/mL every day (QD) administered SC.
tolerability of a daily dose of Glatiramer Acetate (GA) 40 mg/mL three times a week (TIW)
administered subcutaneously (SC) as compared to GA 20 mg/mL every day (QD) administered SC.
The study will comprise of a Core study and an Extension phase. During the Core study,
subjects will be evaluated at study sites for 5 scheduled visits at Months: -1 (Screening),
0 (Baseline), 1, 2, and 4 (Termination/Early Termination). Subjects who complete all
scheduled visits will have final procedures and assessments performed at the final visit
(Month 4, Termination visit). Subjects who withdraw from the study before completing the 4
months evaluation period will have Early Termination (ET) procedures and assessments
performed at their final visit.
During the Extension phase, all subjects will be offered to continue treatment with GA 40
mg/mL TIW. Subjects will be evaluated every 4 months until this dose strength is
commercially available for the treatment of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS)
patients or until the development of this GA dose regimen is stopped by the Sponsor, the
last visit of this phase will be called Termination/ET-Extension visit.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Men or women at least 18 years of age or older
2. Subjects must have a confirmed and documented RRMS diagnosis as defined by the
Revised McDonald criteria, with relapse onset disease or a relapsing-remitting
disease course
3. Subjects must be ambulatory with a Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
score of 0-5.5 in both the Screening and Baseline visits.
4. Subjects must be in a stable neurological condition, relapse-free and free of any
corticosteroid treatment [intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM) and/or per os (PO)] or
adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), 60 days prior to randomization.
5. Subjects must be treated with Glatiramer Acetate (GA) 20mg/mL QD SC injection for a
minimum of 6 months prior to screening.
6. Women of child-bearing potential must practice an acceptable method of birth control
[acceptable methods of birth control in this study include: surgical sterilization,
intrauterine devices, oral contraceptives, contraceptive patch, long-acting
injectable contraceptive, partner's vasectomy or a double-barrier method (condom or
diaphragm with spermicide)].
7. Subjects must be able to sign and date a written informed consent prior to entering
the study.
8. Subjects must be willing and able to comply with the protocol requirements for the
duration of the study
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Subject has any contraindication to Glatiramer Acetate therapy
2. Subjects with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
3. Subjects with Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO).
4. Use of experimental or investigational drugs, and/or participation in drug clinical
studies within the 6 months prior to screening.
5. Concomitant use of other disease modifying drug for MS ((Fingolimod (Gilenya®),
dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera®), Teriflunomide (Aubagio®) or intravenous
immunoglobulin (IVIG)) within 6 months prior to screening
6. Previous use of mitoxantrone, cladribine, alemtuzumab, rituximab, natalizumab.
7. Chronic (more than 30 consecutive days) systemic (IV, PO or IM) corticosteroid
treatment within 6 months prior to screening visit.
8. Previous total body irradiation or total lymphoid irradiation.
9. Previous stem-cell treatment, autologous bone marrow transplantation or allogenic
bone marrow transplantation.
10. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
11. Subjects with a clinically significant or unstable medical or surgical condition that
would preclude safe and complete study participation, as determined by medical
history, physical exams, ECG and abnormal laboratory tests. Such conditions may
include hepatic, renal or metabolic diseases, systemic disease, acute infection,
current malignancy or recent history (5 years) of malignancy, major psychiatric
disorder, history of drug and/or alcohol abuse and allergies that could be
detrimental according to the investigator's judgment.
12. Subjects who underwent endovascular treatment for Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous
Insufficiency (CCSVI).
13. Employees of the clinical study site or any other individuals involved with the
conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals -
