Eligibility
Recruits 73 paediatric patients.
- Vulnerable Population
- The trial enrolls pediatric participants (aged 10 to less than 18 years). Vulnerable-population procedures are documented: assent forms for adolescents (e.g. Assent 13-17 yrs, Assent 14-17 yrs, Assent 12-14 yrs) and parental/guardian informed consent forms (Parent/Parental ICF) are provided. There are separate main ICFs for adults (18 yrs) and procedures for subjects turning 18. Multiple language versions and country-specific assent/parental ICFs are included (examples in the document list: EN, BG, HR, HU, CZ, SK).
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- [Part I] Must have a diagnosis of RRMS as defined by the revised consensus definition for pediatric MS\n- [Part I] Must have an EDSS score between 0.0 and 5.5\n- [Part I] Must have experienced ≥1 relapse in the 12 months prior to randomization (Day 1) or ≥2 relapses in the 24 months prior to randomization (Day 1) or have evidence of asymptomatic disease activity (Gd-enhancing lesions) on brain MRI in the 6 months prior to randomization (Day 1).\n- [Part II] Participants who completed the study treatment in Part 1 (Week 96 Visit), as per protocol."}
Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- [Part I] Primary progressive, secondary progressive, or progressive relapsing MS. These conditions require the presence of continuous clinical disease worsening over a period of at least 3 months. Participants with these conditions may also have superimposed relapses but are distinguished from relapsing subjects by the lack of clinically stable periods or clinical improvement.\n- [Part I] History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions or known drug hypersensitivity.\n- Known allergy to any component of Avonex or BIIB017 formulation.\n- Occurrence of an MS relapse that has occurred within 30 days prior to randomization (Day 1) and/or the participant has not stabilized from a previous relapse prior to randomization (Day 1).\n- [Part I] Any previous treatment with PEGylated human IFN β-1a\n- [Part II] Any significant changes in medical history occurring after enrolment in Part 1, including laboratory test abnormalities or current clinically significant conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would have excluded the subject's participation in Part 1. The Investigator must re-assess the subject's medical fitness for participation and consider any factors that would preclude treatment.\n- [Part II] The subject could not tolerate BIIB017 in Part 1. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply."}
