Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease in which inflammation develops in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). In MS, this central nervous system cannot process certain signals properly because the protective coating on nerve cells (called myelin) is damaged. The aim of this study compound is to slow down the development of disabilities that MS can cause and to improve the functioning of the nervous system.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how quickly and to what extent the study compound is taken up, modified, distributed, and removed from the body. We will also look at the effects of the study compound in the body.
