Study Evaluating Mitoxantrone in Multiple Sclerosis

A Double-Blind, Three-Armed, Randomized Phase-III-Study, to Compare the Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of Three Doses of Mitoxantrone in the Treatment of Patients With Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

The purpose of this study is to show the dose-response relationship of three doses of mitoxantrone with regard to efficacy in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and to show the safety and tolerability of mitoxantrone in these patients.
