    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. The primary clinical endpoints are comparisons of MRI & WBC measurements between the treatment groups [26 Weeks]

      The primary objective is to compare between treatment groups the cumulative number of new gadolinium enhancing (Gd+) lesions on brain MRI & to compare the increases of WBC white blood cell counts in subjects in the treatment groups with Pediatric MS

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. A Secondary clinical endpoint is the measurement of FOXP3+ expression [26 Weeks]

      Secondary measurements objectives to compare immunologic evaluations increases in FOXP3+ expression between treatment groups

    2. A Secondary clinical endpoint is the measurment of EDSS scores [26 Weeks]

      To compare between treatment groups the Measures of neurologic disability EDSS scores utilizing the Kurtzke scale, Patients will be assessed using the EDSS, a 25-foot timed walk, and a nine-hole peg test assessments at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 & 26 visit then exit the study.

    3. A Secondary clinical endpoint is the measurement of clinical relapses [26 Weeks]

      To compare the Analysis of clinical relapses between the treatment groups of Pediatric MS subjects at week 26
