A randomized placebo-controlled phase III trial of oral laquinimod for multiple sclerosis

Original language description

The phase III placebo-controlled BRAVO study assessed laquinimod effects in patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), and descriptively compared laquinimod with interferon beta (IFN beta)-1a (Avonex(A (R)) reference arm). RRMS patients age 18-55 yearswith Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores of 0-5.5 and documented pre-study relapse (a parts per thousand yen 1 in previous year, 2 in previous 2 years, or 1 in previous 1-2 years and a parts per thousand yen 1 GdE lesion in the previous year)were randomized (1:1:1) to laquinimod 0.6 mg once-daily, matching oral placebo, or IFN beta-1a IM 30 mu g once-weekly (rater-blinded design), for 24 months. The primary endpoint was annualized relapse rate (ARR); secondary endpoints included percent brain volume change (PBVC) and 3-month confirmed disability worsening. In all, 1,331 patients were randomized: laquinimod (n = 434), placebo (n = 450), and IFN beta-1a (n = 447). ARR was not significantly reduced with laquinimod [-18 %, risk
