Trial Information

Phase 3 Randomized, Rater- and Dose-Blinded Study Comparing 2 Annual Cycles of IV [Low]- and High-Dose Alemtuzumab to 3x Weekly SC Interferon Beta-1a (Rebif®) in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Patients Who Have Relapsed on Therapy


Every patient will receive active treatment; there is no placebo. The 24 mg alemtuzumab dose
is closed to enrollment so newly enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to treatment
with either 12 mg alemtuzumab or Rebif® at a 2:1 ratio (ie, 2 given 12 mg or 24 mg
alemtuzumab for every 1 given Rebif®). Alemtuzumab will be administered in two annual
cycles, once at the beginning of the study and again 1 year later. Rebif® will be
self-injected 3 times per week for 2 years. All patients will be required to return to
their study site every 3 months for neurologic assessment. In addition, safety-related
laboratory tests will be performed at least monthly. Participation in this study will end 2
years after the start of treatment for each patient. Additionally, patients who receive
alemtuzumab may be followed in the CAMMS03409 Extension Study (NCT00930553) for safety and
efficacy assessments. Patients who receive Rebif® and complete 2 years on study may be
eligible to receive alemtuzumab in the Extension Study.
