Legal disclaimer: Once it’s processed in the body, VUMERITY takes the same active form as dimethyl fumarate (DMF). The information from the clinical trials is DMF data.

FEMALE VOICEOVER: VUMERITY is a pill for adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease.

Legal disclaimer: VUMERITY is a prescription medicine used to treat people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease in adults. It is not known if VUMERITY is safe and effective in children

FEMALE VOICEOVER: VUMERITY reduces relapses, which is a treatment goal in relapsing MS.

Legal disclaimer: In two studies vs placebo, DMF reduced the number of relapses by 53% (0.172 vs 0.364) and 44% (0.224 vs 0.401), respectively. DMF also reduced the risk of relapse by 49% (27% of people on DMF had a relapse vs 46% on placebo) and 34% (29% on DMF had a relapse vs 41% on placebo), respectively.

FEMALE VOICEOVER: VUMERITY also slows the development of brain lesions that are shown on MRIs.

Legal disclaimer: Study 1: Compared with placebo, DMF reduced the number of Gd+ lesions by 90%, new or newly enlarging T2 lesions by 85%, and new T1 lesions by 72%. Study 2: DMF reduced the number of new or newly enlarging lesions by 74%, 71%, and 57%, respectively. The link between brain lesions and the progression of relapsing MS has not been confirmed.

FEMALE VOICEOVER: And, VUMERITY may delay disability progression.

Legal disclaimer: Study 1: 16% of people on DMF had disability progression vs 27% on placebo. Study 2: 13% of people on DMF had disability progression vs 17% on placebo. There was no statistically significant effect on disability progression in Study 2.

FEMALE VOICEOVER: Since VUMERITY is a pill, you can take it from the comfort of home, or wherever your day takes you.
