Evaluation of the Relationship Between ABCG2 Mutation and Teriflunomide Exposure and Safety in Chinese RMS Patients Treated With Teriflunomide 14 mg Once Daily for 24 Weeks

Primary Objective:

Evaluate the relationship between ABCG2 mutation (rs2231142) and teriflunomide exposure, during 6-month treatment with teriflunomide 14 mg

Secondary Objective:

Characterize the safety (AEs, such as ALT enhancement, hair thinning, diarrhea, nausea, etc.) during 6-month treatment with teriflunomide

Study duration per participant is approximately 28 weeks including a 24-week treatment period
