Inclusion criteria
A specific blood cell type called HLA-DR2 may be required in order for RTL1000 to work. For that reason, all subjects will be tested for HLA-DR2 and only those subjects who test positive (about 50%) will undergo further tests to determine if they meet inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria: * Fulfill McDonald criteria for multiple sclerosis * Confirmed diagnosis of chronic progressive or relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis * EDSS score of 0.0 to 6.5 * No clinical exacerbations within the 8 weeks before administration of RTL1000 * HLA-DR2 positive, as confirmed by study reference laboratory * Negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of administration of RTL1000 and negative urine pregnancy test on Day 0 for all women of childbearing potential * Agreement of sexually active men and women of childbearing potential to practice a medically-approved form of contraception * Capable of and willing to provide written informed consent
Exclusion criteria
* Exposure to alemtuzumab or dacluzimab any time in the 6 months before administration of RTL1000 * Exposure to natalizumab or other drugs targeting alpha-4 integrin in the 6 months before RTL1000 administration or more than 3 doses of natalizumab or these drugs at any time. * Any prior exposure to RTL1000 * Exposure to other MS disease-modifying drugs (e.g., recombinant interferon beta and glatiramer acetate), immunosuppressant agents, or systemic corticosteroids (other than replacement doses) within the 4 weeks prior to RTL1000 administration * Exposure to chemotherapeutic immunosuppressants, including azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, cladribine, mitoxantrone, or cyclophosphamide, during the six months prior to administration of RTL1000 * Total lymphoid irradiation or bone marrow transplantation at any time * Known or suspected allergy to gadolinium * Contraindication to MRI (e.g., subject has a pacemaker or other contraindicated implanted metal devices or has claustrophobia that cannot be medically managed) * Clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory findings for hematologic, hepatic, and renal function at screening. * Significant medical diseases or conditions, including poorly controlled hypertension, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disorders, immunodeficiency (e.g., HIV infection), renal failure, liver dysfunction, cancer (except treated basal cell carcinoma), or active infection. * History of, or current, psychiatric illness likely to interfere with ability to comply with protocol requirements or give informed consent * History of alcohol or drug abuse likely to interfere with ability to comply with protocol requirements * Pregnancy or lactation

About this trial
In the sponsor's words
RTL1000 is a new agent that has not been previously tested in humans. It is thought that RTL may specifically control the abnormal immune response or attack against the insulation on the nerves that occurs in multiple sclerosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible side effects of a single intravenous dose of RTL1000 in subjects with multiple sclerosis. Some subjects will also be asked to participate in one or both of two substudies, one to test blood samples to see how the body's immune system responds after administration of RTL1000, and the other to test blood samples to see how the body absorbs and eliminates the RTL1000.
