Summary

The primary objective is to determine whether prolonged-release fampridine (10 mg twice daily) has a clinically meaningful effect on participant-reported walking ability over a 24-week study period. The secondary objectives are: to determine whether prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg taken twice daily (BID) has a clinically meaningful effect on dynamic and static balance, physical impact of multiple sclerosis (MS), and upper extremity function over a 24-week study period; to evaluate criteria for early assessment of response to fampridine that can predict clinically meaningful benefits in walking ability and balance; to assess the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg twice daily over a 24-week treatment period.

Eligibility Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Must have a diagnosis of primary-progressive, secondary-progressive, progressive-relapsing, or relapsing-remitting MS per revised McDonald Committee criteria [McDonald 2001; Polman 2005] as defined by Lublin and Reingold [Lublin and Reingold 1996] of at least 3 months duration
  • Must have an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 4 to 7, inclusive
  • Must have walking impairment, as deemed by the Investigator

Key Exclusion Criteria

  • History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • Presence of acute or chronic hepatitis. Subjects who have evidence of prior hepatitis infection that has been serologically confirmed as resolved are not excluded from study participation
  • Known allergy to fampridine, pyridine-containing substances, or any of the inactive ingredients in the prolonged-release fampridine tablet
  • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) of <80 mL/min
  • History of malignant disease
  • Presence of pulmonary disease
  • A body mass index (BMI) ≥40 (BMI formula: BMI = mass [kg]/[height(m)]2)

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
