A Study to Evaluate the Long Term Safety and Effectiveness of Novantrone Therapy Followed by Copaxone Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis

A Multi-Centered, Two Arm, Open Label Extension Study (to Protocol NC-100) to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Short-Term Induction Treatment With Mitoxantrone (Novantrone®) Preceding Treatment With Glatiramer Acetate (Copaxone®) vs. Chronic Treatment With Glatiramer Acetate Alone in Relapsing Forms of Multiple Sclerosis

It is thought that treating Multiple Sclerosis with Novantrone for a short period of time prior to treatment with Copaxone may enhance the onset effect of Copaxone.
