We sought to determine whether combinations of glatiramer acetate and parenteral or ingested type I interferon were synergistic in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Glatiramer acetate, subcutaneous murine interferon‐α, or ingested murine interferon‐α individually improved clinical scores. In contrast, glatiramer acetate in conjunction with either subcutaneous or ingested interferon‐α did not improve clinical scores compared with control. These data suggest that clinical trials designed to test a possible synergistic effect of glatiramer acetate and type I interferon in humans should be designed to detect possible adverse effects of this combination of immunomodulatory agents.
