Brief Summary

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

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BG00012 (dimethyl fumarate) administered in combination with interferon b (IFNß) or glatiramer acetate (GA) in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Glatiramer acetate (GA) and dimethyl fumarate

Participants taking a stable dose of GA for at least 12 months prior to the study remain on that dose throughout the study. Dimethyl fumarate is administered at 120 mg three times a day (TID) on Days 1-7, and 240 mg TID on Day 8 until the end of treatment (approximately 6 months).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

dimethyl fumarate

Intervention Type DRUG

Days 1-7: 120 mg three times a day (TID) for a total daily dose of 360 mg. Day 8 to Week 24: 240 mg TID for a total daily dose of 720 mg. Drug supplied as a capsule taken orally.

Interferon beta (IFNβ) and dimethyl fumarate

Participants taking a stable dose of one of the IFNβ products for at least 12 months prior to the study remain on that product and dose throughout the study. Dimethyl fumarate is administered at 120 mg three times a day (TID) on Days 1-7, and 240 mg TID on Day 8 until the end of treatment (approximately 6 months).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

dimethyl fumarate

Intervention Type DRUG

Days 1-7: 120 mg three times a day (TID) for a total daily dose of 360 mg. Day 8 to Week 24: 240 mg TID for a total daily dose of 720 mg. Drug supplied as a capsule taken orally.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Must have a confirmed diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) according to McDonald criteria #1-4 (Polman et al, 2005 \[Appendix I\]), and have a prior brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating lesion (s) consistent with multiple sclerosis (MS) from any point in time.
* Must have an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) between 0.0 and 5.0, inclusive.
* Must be taking the same dose of a prescribed IFNβ (either Avonex, Betaseron, Rebif) or GA for at least 12 months consecutively at the time of enrollment and remain on this treatment for the duration of the study. Participants receiving Rebif must be prescribed 44 μg by subcutaneous injection three times per week.

Exclusion Criteria

* Primary progressive, secondary progressive, or progressive relapsing MS (as defined by Polman et al. 2005).
* Other chronic disease of the immune system, malignancies, acute urologic, or pulmonary disease.
* Pregnant or nursing women.
* Participation within 6 months prior to study enrollment in any other drug, biologic, or device study.
