AE: any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the participant or may require i

Sponsor's own description
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of BG00012 (dimethyl fumarate) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions in pediatric participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics of BG00012 in pediatric participants with RRMS and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BG00012 in pediatric participants with RRMS.
