Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability Study of Glatiramer Acetate (GA) 20 mg/0.5 ml New Formulation Administered Daily by Subcutaneous (SC) Injection in Subjects With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) (NCT NCT01578785)

NCT ID: NCT01578785

Last Updated: 2014-04-02

Results Overview

The total number of confirmed relapses during the placebo-controlled phase is divided by the sum of the number of days on study in the placebo-controlled phase and then multiplied by the number of days in the year to calculate the annualized relapse rate.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 up to Month 12

Population: Intent to treat population was planned. However analysis was not performed due to early termination of the study.

The total number of confirmed relapses during the placebo-controlled phase is divided by the sum of the number of days on study in the placebo-controlled phase and then multiplied by the number of days in the year to calculate the annualized relapse rate.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 up to Month 12

Population: Intent to treat population was planned. However analysis was not performed due to early termination of the study.

Inflammatory disease activity was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement of the number of new or newly enlarged T2 lesions.
