Brief Summary

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

Participants with multiple sclerosis that are currently treated with glatiramer acetate (GA, Copaxone®) injections and have redness, pain, swelling, itching or a lump at the injection site will be recruited to examine histamine response of three topical treatments to reduce these symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants are asked to be in this study because they have multiple sclerosis, are currently treated with glatiramer acetate (GA, Copaxone®) injections and have redness, pain, swelling, itching or a lump at the injection site.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of ethyl-a-guanida-methyl ethanoate (AGEE) will decrease histamine response measured by redness, swelling, and itch response following subcutaneous injection of glatiramer acetate (GA) for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
