Primary Objective:

To assess the safety and tolerability of GZ402668 after a single subcutaneous (SC) dose in men and women with progressive multiple sclerosis.

Secondary Objectives:

To assess in men and women with progressive multiple sclerosis:

• The pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of GZ402668 after a single SC dose.
• The pharmacodynamic (PD) response to GZ402668 after a single SC dose.

The total study duration from screening for a patient can be approximately up to 8 weeks. Upon completion of this trial, patients treated with GZ402668 will be required to enroll in a 4 year safety follow-up study for continued safety observation.
