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 long-term safety and tolerability of BIIB041 (fampridine-sustained release (SR)) treatment in Canadian participants with multiple sclerosis (MS) who previously participated in the registrational and extension studies conducted by Acorda. Those studies include NCT00654927 (MS-F202EXT), NCT00648908 (MS-F203EXT) and NCT00649792 (MS-F204EXT).
