To compare between treatment groups the Measures of neurologic disability EDSS scores utilizing the Kurtzke scale, Patients will be assessed using the EDSS, a 25-foot timed walk, and a nine-hole peg test assessments at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 & 26 visit then exit the study. |
| 26 Weeks |
| A Secondary clinical endpoint is the measurement of clinical relapses | To compare the Analysis of clinical relapses between the treatment groups of Pediatric MS subjects at week 26 | 26 Weeks |
