Trial Outcomes & Findings for Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Activity of Oral Fampridine-SR in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis Who Participated in the MS-F204 Trial (NCT NCT00649792)

NCT ID: NCT00649792

Last Updated: 2012-02-28

Results Overview

All adverse events reported were treatment emergent. Therefore, events that had a date of onset, or worsening, on or after the start of the open-label drug and up to 14 days after the last dose (for non-serious events) or up to 30 days after the last dose (for SAEs) were summarized. Any abnormal clinically significant changes in physical examination, medical history, clinical laboratory testing, 12-lead ECG, and standard EEG testing were captured as adverse events.
