Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 21-Week, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Oral Fampridine-SR in Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis

To assess the safety and efficacy of 10 milligram (mg) twice a day (b.i.d.) Fampridine-SR in
patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), in a double-blind, placebo-controlled,
parallel group study.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disorder of the body's immune system that affects the central
nervous system (CNS). Normally, nerve fibers carry electrical impulses through the spinal
cord, providing communication between the brain and the arms and legs. In people with MS, the
fatty sheath that surrounds and insulates the nerve fibers (called "myelin") deteriorates,
causing nerve impulses to be slowed or stopped. As a result, patients with MS may experience
periods of muscle weakness and other symptoms such as numbness, loss of vision, loss of
coordination, paralysis, spasticity, mental and physical fatigue and a decrease in the
ability to think and/or remember. These periods of illness may come (exacerbations) and go
(remissions). Fampridine-SR is an experimental drug that has been reported to possibly
improve muscle strength and walking ability for some people with MS. This study will evaluate
the effects and possible risks of taking Fampridine-SR in subjects with MS.
