Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: See protocol;Primary end point(s): - Cohort 1: new CALs after 4 months of treatment based on the MRI outcomes obtained at Months 2, 3, and 4 - Cohort 2: new CALs over 12 months of treatment based on the MRI outcomes obtained at Months 3, 6, 9, and 12;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: as per protocol;Main Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of NU100 in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis as compared to placebo and an active comparator. The primary clinical objective selected for this Phase 3 study, the cumulative number of new combined unique active lesions (CALs; defined as new gadolinium T1-weighted lesions and non enhancing new and newly enlarging T2-weighted lesions) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans over the course of 4 and 12 months of treatment to demonstrate the superiority of NU100 to placebo and the non-inferiority of NU100 to Betaferon®, respectively. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Incidence of annualized relapse rates - Proportion of relapse-free patients at 12 months - Incidence and severity of all drug related flu-like symptoms (FLS) during the first 4 months of study participation in all patients. - Incidence of antibody (neutralizing antibodies [NABs]/binding antibodies [BABs]) formation against IFN beta-1b - Changes from baseline in the EDSS score after 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment - Sustained change in EDSS measured for at least 3 months - Changes from baseline in the Hamilton Depression Scale (HDS) score after 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment - Changes from baseline in the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) score after 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: as per protocol | — |
