| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To make laquinimod 0.6 mg available for all subjects who completed the placebo-controlled MS-LAQ-301 study according to the protocol and to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and effect on disease course of daily oral laquinimod 0.6 mg in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis;Secondary Objective: Not applicable; Primary end point(s): There is no primary endpoint in this study. The statistical analyses of this study will be exploratory in nature. The outcome measures are as follows: 1.To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of daily oral laquinimod 0.6 mg in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Safety and Tolerability Outcome Measures: Safety: ?Adverse events ?Vital signs ?ECG findings ?Clinical laboratory parameters Tolerability: ?Proportion of subjects (%) who prematurely discontinued from the study, reason of discontinuation and the time to withdrawal. ?Proportion of subjects (%) who prematurely discontinued from the study due to AEs and the time to withdrawal 2.To assess the long-term effect of laquinimod 0.6 mg on disease course, as assessed by several parameters: ?Number of confirmed relapses ?Progression of disability as measured by the EDSS score (including FS and AI) ?Progression of disability as measured by the MSFC score ?Binocular low-contrast visual acuity using the 100%, 2.5% and 1.25% contrast level charts [Sloan letter (Appendix 9) or Tumbling-E (Appendix 10)] ?Subject-reported fatigue as assessed by the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Number of confirmed relapses: -On-Study Relapse Evaluation throughout the treatment duratio | — |
