Key inclusion & exclusion 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
