Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: Assessment of efficacy and safety of flupirtin compared to placebo as an add-on to treatment with IFN-beta in RR-MS. Primary objectives are the incidence of new T2-lesions, the number of patients without newly occurring T2 lesions over the treatmant period, "lesion load", number and volume of "black holes", "brain parenchymal fraction" measured by cerebral MRI and changes in the relation of NAA and choline measured by MRS.
Primary end point(s): Primary objectives are the incidence of new T2-lesions, the number of patients without newly occurring T2 lesions over the treatmant period, "lesion load", number and volume of "black holes", "brain parenchymal fraction" measured by cerebral MRI and changes in the relation of NAA and choline measured by MRS.
Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are the annualized number of relapses over 12 months of flupirtin treatment compared to 12 months prior to treatment, the number of patients without relapse, progression of disability, parameters of neuronal atrophy, cognitive/ neuropsychological parameters and the effects of flupirtin on peripheral mononuclear blood cells compared to placebo.
