The humanised IgG4 monoclonal antibody GNbAC1 targets the envelope protein (Env) of the human endogenous multiple sclerosis-associated retrovirus (HERV-W MSRV), which may play a critical role in multiple sclerosis.
The study assesses the long-term safety of GNbAC1 in patients with RRMS and the long-term efficacy of GNbAC1 in terms of MRI outcomes, relapse rate, disability and disease progression.

- Long term safety of GNbAC1 [ Time Frame: 96 Weeks ]
The main parameters evaluated to assess the long term safety will be:
AE and SAE, clinical safety laboratory, IgG4 dosing, vital signs, physical examination, ECGs, Anti-drug antibody and C-SSRS scale
- Long term efficacy of GNbAC1 in terms of MRI outcomes [ Time Frame: 96 Weeks ]
- Long term efficacy of GNbAC1 in terms of relapse rate [ Time Frame: 96 Weeks ]
- Long term efficacy of GNbAC1 in terms of disability [ Time Frame: 96 Weeks ]
- Long term efficacy of GNbAC1 in terms of disease progression [ Time Frame: 96 Weeks ]
