Phase III Study With Teriflunomide Versus Placebo in Patients With First Clinical Symptom of Multiple Sclerosis - Full Text View

Purpose

The primary objective is to demonstrate the effect of teriflunomide (14 mg/day and 7 mg/day) compared to placebo for reducing conversion of patients presenting with their first clinical episode consistent with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) to clinically definite MS.
