Efficacy and Safety Study of Oral BG00012 With Active Reference in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (CONFIRM)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Biogen Idec, January 2009
Sponsored by: Biogen Idec
Information provided by: Biogen Idec
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00451451
  Purpose

To determine if treatment with BG00012 can decrease the number of MS relapses during a certain time period. Other goals of the study are to determine if, over time, BG00012 treatment can decrease the number of certain types of brain lesions commonly seen in MS patients and slow down the time it takes for MS to get worse.

Other objectives of the study are to determine the safety and tolerability of BG00012, as well as the effect it may have on tests and evaluations used to assess MS. Additionally, glatiramer acetate is being used to compare its benefits and risks with placebo and BG00012.

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled and Active Reference (Glatiramer Acetate) Comparison Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BG00012 in Subjects With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Further study details as provided by Biogen Idec:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine whether BG00012, when compared with placebo is effective in reducing the rate of clinical relapses at 2 years. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • If BG00012 decreases number of brain lesions, slows time to progression, the safety and tolerability, and effect it has on MS tests and evaluations. Commercially available glatiramer acetate is being used to compare its benefits and risks with placebo. [ Time Frame: 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
