According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 618 people across three groups during the main (core) treatment period: 197 received a placebo (a dummy treatment with no active ingredient), 205 received a lower dose of teriflunomide (7 mg), and 216 received a higher dose (14 mg). The trial was measuring how long it took for participants — who had each experienced a single episode of neurological symptoms that could be an early warning sign of multiple sclerosis (MS) — to be diagnosed with clinically definite MS. A portion of participants who completed the core period then continued into an extension phase. The trial also looked at relapse rates and changes seen on brain MRI (brain scans). The reported data shows that, for the primary outcome — the estimated probability of being diagnosed with clinically definite MS by the end of the study (at 108 weeks) — the figures were 35.9% in the placebo group, 27.6% in the 7 mg group, and 24.0% in the 14 mg group. For a broader measure of MS diagnosis that also included MRI scan criteria, the reported probabilities at 108 weeks were 87.0% (placebo), 73.3% (7 mg), and 71.5% (14 mg). The reported average relapse rate per year was 0.284 for placebo, 0.190 for the 7 mg group, and 0.194 for the 14 mg group. Brain MRI scans also recorded the number of active lesions (areas of inflammation visible on the scan) per scan: 0.953 for placebo, 0.749 for the 7 mg group, and 0.395 for the 14 mg group. Changes in total lesion volume on the brain scans and the volume of active lesions were also reported, with the figures for all three groups described as small numerical differences; full details of those figures are available in the submitted data.

Who may be able to join

  • You have had your first clear neurological episode (such as optic neuritis diagnosed by an eye doctor, problems with your spinal cord, or issues with balance/coordination) that doctors believe may be caused by damage to the protective coating of nerve fibers
  • Your symptoms started within the last 90 days before joining the trial
  • A recent MRI scan shows 2 or more spots (each at least 3mm in size) that are typical of multiple sclerosis (MS)

Who may not be able to join

Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.

  • You have a serious ongoing condition affecting your heart, liver, nervous system, hormones, or another major part of your body
  • You have significant problems with your bone marrow (the tissue inside bones that makes blood cells)
  • You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have issues with alcohol or drug misuse
  • You have previously taken certain medicines that suppress the immune system, including cladribine, mitoxantrone, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporin, methotrexate, or mycophenolate
  • In the opinion of the trial doctor, there is any reason you may not be able to follow through with or complete the study (confirm with trial site)

Other options

Expanded access pathways

This trial is not enrolling. Other access pathways exist in general: in Australia, the TGA Special Access Scheme allows access to unapproved therapeutic goods for individual patients. Whether it applies to any treatment studied here is a question for your doctor — nothing on this page says it does.
