Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This study was a prospective, open-label, multicentric single arm trial. Subjects with the diagnosis of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis fulfilling McDonald criteria and meeting all eligibility criteria were enrolled in the study. Subjects were followed at week 4, week 8, week 12, week 16, week 20, week 26 and further will be followed up to week 52. Vitals, clinical exacerbations, ambulation index, disability scores, hemogram, biochemistry, thyroid hormones and MRI Scan were observed/ performed as per the study schedule at predefined intervals. The primary objective was to assess new gadolinium enhancing lesions in brain over 26 weeks of treatment period in patients of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Each subject received a dose of 30 ìg of R-TPR-011 intra muscularly once a week for 26 weeks and additionally, treatment was given once a week for another 26 weeks for secondary efficacy analysis. Patients at each site were enrolled only after receiving approval from the respective Ethics committee. All patients were required to give written informed consent prior to enrolment in the study
