This is a 24-week phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter safety study comparing the tolerance profile of olesoxime (495 mg, od) when administered on top of Interferon beta in patients with stable Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. Patients will be randomly allocated to olesoxime (495 mg, od) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio.
The primary objective of this study is to characterize the general safety and tolerability of olesoxime (495 mg, od), compared to placebo when administered in combination with Interferon beta over a 24-week treatment period in patients with stable Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of multicenter protocols for measurement of neurodegeneration and remyelination by MRI as well as the plasma exposure to olesoxime (495 mg, od).

MRI will be performed to all patients to assess effects of olesoxime on brain inflammation as well as to assess measures of brain atrophy, neuronal damage and myelination status at Baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks.

Patients must be treated with Interferon beta for at least one year
Patients must have an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score ≤ 5
Female patients must be post-menopausal (defined as at least 12 months post cessation of menses), surgically sterile or, if of childbearing potential, using a reliable method of contraception for at least 3 months prior to Baseline and during the study. In addition, female patients must not be lactating

Expected use of another disease modifying therapy from Screening Visit/Visit -1 to Visit 3/Final Visit
Patients unable to undergo MRI scan
Current or expected use of a medication that could interfere with olesoxime pharmacology (e.g. tamoxifen)
Current or expected use of lipid lowering agents (ezetimibe, bile salt chelators, fibrates, phytosterols) other than statins
