Efficacy and safety of a three-times-weekly dosing regimen of glatiramer acetate in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients: 3-year results of the Glatiramer Acetate Low-Frequency Administration open-label extension study

摘要

Background: The 1-year placebo-controlled (PC) phase of the Glatiramer Acetate Low-Frequency Administration (GALA) study showed that glatiramer acetate 40 mg/mL three times weekly (GA40) significantly reduced annualized relapse rate (ARR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) activity in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Patients completing the PC phase were invited to an open-label (OL) extension.
