Long Term Safety and Efficacy Study of Teriflunomide 7 mg or 14 mg in Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
What it found
The main measure was safety, drug levels or similar, not whether the treatment works.
“In the TEMSO extension, safety observations were consistent with the core trial, with no new or unexpected AEs in patients receiving teriflunomide for up to 9 years.”Read by software from the paper's abstract

About this trial
In the sponsor's words
The primary objective of this study was to document the long-term safety and tolerability of teriflunomide in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) participants with relapse. The secondary objective was to document the long-term efficacy on disability progression, relapse rate and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) parameters.
