All but 6% of the subjects with relapsing remitting MS who were randomly assigned to receive glatiramer acetate or placebo for the 9-month controlled phase of the European/Canadian MRI trial entered an open-label extension with quarterly clinical and MRI evaluations for another 9 months. There was a 54% reduction in the mean number of enhanced lesions for those converted from placebo to glatiramer acetate and an additional 24.6% reduction for those always on glatiramer acetate. Over the entire study the accumulated T2 disease burden was 34.2% less for those always on glatiramer acetate.

Abstract
All but 6% of the subjects with relapsing remitting MS who were randomly assigned to receive glatiramer acetate or placebo for the 9-month controlled phase of the European/Canadian MRI trial entered an open-label extension with quarterly clinical and MRI evaluations for another 9 months. There was a 54% reduction in the mean number of enhanced lesions for those converted from placebo to glatiramer acetate and an additional 24.6% reduction for those always on glatiramer acetate. Over the entire study the accumulated T2 disease burden was 34.2% less for those always on glatiramer acetate.File in questo prodotto:
