Teva's glatiramer acetate 40mg fails in phase 3 trial

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. announced top-line results from a phase III study designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of glatiramer acetate (GA) 40mg as compared to the approved Copaxone 20mg in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The 40mg dose did not demonstrate increased efficacy in reducing the relapse rate; however, the higher dose maintained the favourable safety and tolerability profile of Copaxone 20mg.
