Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: *Effects of teriflunomide 7 and 14 mg, compared with placebo, in combination with a stable dose of glatiramer acetate on :
- total number of gadolinium enhancing lesions per T1-weighted MRI scan over the study period
- burden of disease ( defined as total volume of all lesions as measured by T2-weighted MRI scans)
- relapse rate (defined as number of annualized relapses per year) and the proportion of subjects who experience objective relapses during the study
- subject reported fatigue as measured by the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS)
*Population pharmacokinetic analyses of teriflunomide following 7 mg and 14 mg doses, in combination with a stable dose of glatiramer acetate.
Main Objective: To investigate the tolerability and safety of a 7 mg and a 14 mg dose of teriflunomide administered once daily for 24 weeks, compared with placebo in subjects with multiple sclerosis who are concurrently on a stable dose of glatiramer acetate.
