BACKGROUND: Every patient diagnosed with definite multiple sclerosis (MS) should begin disease modifying therapies. Cinnomer® contains 40 mg glatiramer acetate (GA) and is available in prefilled syringes and autoinjector devices.

METHODS: A phase IV multicenter study was conducted to explore the safety and effectiveness of Cinnomer® in the treatment of MS. Study-related data were collected for 14 months.

RESULTS: Totally, 368 Iranian relapsing-remitting MS patients in nine cities were enrolled. The patients were either treatment naïve (n=191) or switchers (n=177). Cinnomer® treatment was associated with a significant reduction in annual relapse rate (ARR) (RR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.43, 0.98). Final mean Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores showed improvement from baseline (difference: -0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.34, -0.08). There was a significant decrease in gad-enhancing lesions during treatment (difference: -0.38, 95% CI: -0.64, -0.12). The mean score for the depression measure (21-item BDI-II questionnaire) significantly improved (difference: -2.39, 95% CI: -3.74, -1.03). There was a significant change in the "psychological well-being" dimension (P=0.02) (in line with BDI-II scores) and "rejection" MusiQoL dimensions (P=0.04). The adverse events documented throughout the study were not unexpected for GA and were principally not serious.

CONCLUSION: Safety measures were in line with the known profiles of GA. The results suggest that Cinnomer® is effective with respect to clinical outcomes and from the patient's perspective and in reducing MRI-measured MS activity.
