Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of Oral Fampridine-SR in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis (NCT NCT00053417)

NCT ID: NCT00053417

Last Updated: 2011-08-04

Results Overview

The primary efficacy variable was the percent change from baseline in average walking speed measured using the Timed 25-Foot Walk Test during the 12-week stable dose period (the average of Study Days 56, 84, and 112), relative to the mean at baseline (placebo run-in period, the average of Study Days 7 and 14).
