Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group active extension of LAQ/5062 study (NCT00349193), assessing the tolerability, safety and efficacy of two doses (0.3 mg and 0.6 mg) of laquinimod, orally administered in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), followed by an open-label phase of laquinimod 0.6 mg daily. This study is LAQ/5063 (i.e., double-blind extension) and LAQ/5063 OL (i.e., subsequent open-label extension). - The first period of the extension study is an active, double-blind period. Participants from the active treatment arms in LAQ/5062 continue their assigned treatment in blinded fashion. Participants who were assigned to placebo treatment in LAQ/5062 are equally randomized in blinded-fashion to laquinimod 0.6 mg or laquinimod 0.3 mg. - Once termination visit of LAQ/5063 active double-blind phase (completion of the full 36 weeks or as requested by the Sponsor) is performed, all participants continue on laquinimod 0.6 mg daily as an open-label intervention. The open-label period continues as long as the Sponsor continues the development of laquinimod 0.6 mg for RRMS or early discontinuation.

Participants Investigators
Blinding performed by interactive voice response system (IVRS) and relevant only to the first period of the extension. General medical evaluations will be assessed separately from neurological assessment evaluations by two different neurologists/ physicians. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan evaluation will be performed at a central reading center by staff that does not have access to the clinical data.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
