Background: Fingolimod has shown reductions in clinical and MRI disease activity in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. We further assessed the efficacy and safety of fingolimod in such patients.
Methods: We did this placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 3 study predominantly in the USA (101 of 117 centres). Using a computer-generated sequence, we randomly allocated eligible patients-those aged 18-55 years with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis-to receive fingolimod 05 mg, fingolimod 125 mg, or placebo orally once daily (1:1:1; stratified by study centre). On Nov 12, 2009, all patients assigned to fingolimod 125 mg were switched to the 05 mg dose in a blinded manner after a review of data from other phase 3 trials and recommendation from the data and safety monitoring board, but were analysed as being in the 125 mg group in the primary outcome analysis. Our primary endpoint was annualised relapse rate at month 24, analysed by intention to treat. Secondary endpoints included percentage brain volume change (PBVC) from baseline and time-to-disability-progression confirmed at 3 months. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrilals.gov, number NCT00355134.

Interpretation: Our findings expand knowledge of the safety profile of fingolimod and strengthen evidence for its beneficial effects on relapse rates in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. We saw no effect of fingolimod on disability progression. Our findings substantiate the beneficial profile of fingolimod as a disease-modifying agent in the management of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
The Journal of Ethnopharmacology is dedicated to the exchange of information and understandings about people's use of plants, fungi, animals, microorganisms and minerals and their biological and pharmacological effects based on the principles established through international conventions. Early people confronted with illness and disease, discovered a wealth of useful therapeutic agents in the plant and animal kingdoms. The empirical knowledge of these medicinal substances and their toxic potential was passed on by oral tradition and sometimes recorded in herbals and other texts on materia medica. Many valuable drugs of today (e.g., atropine, ephedrine, tubocurarine, digoxin, reserpine) came into use through the study of indigenous remedies. Chemists continue to use plant-derived drugs (e.g., morphine, taxol, physostigmine, quinidine, emetine) as prototypes in their attempts to develop more effective and less toxic medicinals.
1. Original research articles - whose length is not limited and should include Title, Abstract, Methods and Materials, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgements and References. As a guideline, a full length paper normally occupies no more than 10 printed pages of the journal, including tables and illustrations. 2. Short Communications - whose average length is not more than 4 pages in print (approx. 2000-2300 words, including abstract and references). A maximum of 2 illustrations (figures or tables) is allowed. See paragraph below for description and format. 3. Letters to the Editors. 4. Reviews - Authors intending to write review articles should consult and send an outline to the Reviews Editor (see inside front cover for contact information) before preparing their manuscripts. The organization and subdivision of review articles can be arranged at the author's discretion. Authors should keep in mind that a good review sets the trend and direction of future research on the subject matter being reviewed. Tables, figures and references are to be arranged in the same way as research articles in the journal. Reviews on topics that address cutting-edge @pharmacy.ac.uk are particularly welcome. Outlines for potential reviews need to include: A detailed abstract using the structure provided in the guidelines

At submission, authors must follow ASPET's policies for reporting and depositing information on all research data including, but not limited to, raw data, processed data, software, algorithms, protocols, and methods described in the manuscript. All original data supporting the findings described in their manuscript must also be made fully available upon request by ASPET. Examples of Data to be shared are provided here.
Authors should, when possible, honor requests for access to any form of published data for appropriate scientific use. The editors reserve the right to request original data from authors at any stage in the review or publication process, including after publication. Failure to provide requested information may result in rejection, withdrawal, publication delays, revocation of acceptance, or retraction.
Authors must describe any exceptions or limitations to data sharing, materials, and software in the Data Availability Statement. Whenever possible, the scripts and other artifacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper should also be publicly archived. A rare exception may be granted at the editor's discretion, for example, if sharing data compromises the privacy of human data, ethical standards, or legal requirements. If authors are granted a rare exception, they are not required to share it and must describe restrictions in their Data Availability Statement.
Authors may submit a presubmission inquiry to have an editor review whether their work is in scope for Drug Metabolism and Disposition in advance of a full submission. There is no submission free for a presubmission inquiry. Inquiries must include a cover letter that provides the manuscript type (i.e. research article, minireview, etc.), abstract, significance statement, and full author information.
There is a manuscript submission fee of $75. Payment is made online through the manuscript submission system. Wire transfers are not permitted. The manuscript submission fee is waived for manuscripts where any author is an ASPET member in good standing. To get the fee waiver, the system will ask for the name of the ASPET member during the submission process.
