      This is a proof of concept, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm, parallel&#xD;
      group study of Isoxsuprine in MS subjects experiencing a typical relapse.&#xD;
&#xD;
      All subjects will have a documented diagnosis of relapsing MS or a clinically isolated&#xD;
      syndrome by international criteria. The relapse will be of sufficient severity that their&#xD;
      physician recommends treatment with a high dose corticosteroid pulse. All subjects will have&#xD;
      a physical examination and history with questions on drug sensitivities. Subjects&#xD;
      experiencing the onset of objective neurological deficits consistent with relapse within 7&#xD;
      days of randomization are eligible for screening for this study. Those currently on MS&#xD;
      disease modifying therapy will have received a stable regimen of the medications for at least&#xD;
      30 days prior to screening and will continue the same doses and regimens for the duration of&#xD;
      their study participation.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Consented subjects will be assessed for relapse criteria and those who meet study eligibility&#xD;
      criteria and agree to be treated with a standard 3 to 5 day pulse of high dose&#xD;
      corticosteroids, will be randomized with equal probability to 1 of 2 treatment groups:&#xD;
      placebo capsule or active Isoxsuprine (ISX).&#xD;
&#xD;
      The Screening Visit will take place within 7 days of relapse onset and within 48 hours of&#xD;
      initiating high dose steroids. Subjects may start corticosteroids anytime during this 7 day&#xD;
      window. During the screening period, subjects will be assessed with the Expanded Disability&#xD;
      Status Scale (EDSS), Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC), and cognitive testing&#xD;
      prior to treatment with ISX or placebo (1:1 ratio). Safety Assessments during screening will&#xD;
      include a physical exam, electrocardiogram, vital signs, weight and a urine pregnancy test&#xD;
      for females of child bearing potential. At 7 (± 1) days following the completion of the 5-day&#xD;
      ISX dosing, subjects will be re-assessed with the EDSS.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Subjects will be evaluated for treatment response using the EDSS and other standard measures.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Study drug will be administered as one (1) 10 mg capsule, 3 times daily for 5 days in&#xD;
      conjunction with concomitant dosing with high dose corticosteroids. This can be any accepted&#xD;
      regimen, including daily iv methylprednisolone 1000 mg/day or 600mg oral prednisone two times&#xD;
      a day at approximately 8AM and noon, with food, as typically provided by UNM MS Specialty&#xD;

    <description>Evaluate the potential efficacy of Isoxuprine as add-on treatment for improving neurological disability on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). The EDSS is based on a standard neurological examination to determine 7 Functional Systems Scores (FSS) (pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel and bladder, visual, cerebral function). Each FSS is an ordinal clinical rating scale ranging from 0 to 5 or 6. The EDSS is a composite ordinal clinical rating scale ranging from 0 (normal neurologic examination) to 10 (death due to MS) in half-point increments. It is calculated from standard tables based on the individual FSS scores.</description>

    <description>The MSFC requires the 1) Timed 25-Foot walk; 2) 9-Hole PegTest (9-HPT); and 3) Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT-3&quot; version). The results from each of these three tests are transformed into Z-scores and averaged to yield a composite score for each patient at each time point (higher scores represent more disability). The MSFC score is a continuous variable that can be used as a numerical variable in analyses. Each of the 3 MSFC tests can also be analyzed and compared as individual measures.</description>

measure: Exploratory Treatment Efficacy Measures (Expanded Disability Status Scale)
time frame: Baseline to Week 12
description: Evaluate the potential efficacy of Isoxuprine as add-on treatment for improving neurological disability on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). The EDSS is based on a standard neurological examination to determine 7 Functional Systems Scores (FSS) (pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel and bladder, visual, cerebral function). Each FSS is an ordinal clinical rating scale ranging from 0 to 5 or 6. The EDSS is a composite ordinal clinical rating scale ranging from 0 (normal neurologic examination) to 10 (death due to MS) in half-point increments. It is calculated from standard tables based on the individual FSS scores.
measure: Exploratory Treatment Efficacy Measures (Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite)
time frame: Baseline to Week 12
description: The MSFC requires the 1) Timed 25-Foot walk; 2) 9-Hole PegTest (9-HPT); and 3) Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT-3" version). The results from each of these three tests are transformed into Z-scores and averaged to yield a composite score for each patient at each time point (higher scores represent more disability). The MSFC score is a continuous variable that can be used as a numerical variable in analyses. Each of the 3 MSFC tests can also be analyzed and compared as individual measures.
