Secondary outcome measures will include determination of immune activation patterns of PBMC and CSF using multicolor flow cytometric analysis and HTLV-I proviral load in blood and CSF.

Should two consecutive tests yield indeterminant results, a chest x-ray will be performed to rule out radiographic evidence of a latent TB infection. Negative imaging will enable the subject to qualify for participation in the study.\n* Ability to take oral medication and be willing to adhere to the protocol regimen\n* Patients must be able to provide informed consent\n* If able to become pregnant or to father a child, patient must agree to commit to the use of a reliable\u002Faccepted method of birth control (i.e. hormonal contraception (birth control pills, injected hormones, vaginal ring), intrauterine device, barrier methods with spermicide (diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide) or surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, tubal ligation, or vasectomy) for the duration of the treatment arm of the study and for two years following cessation of treatment with teriflunomide.\n\nEXCLUSION CRITERIA:\n\nAn individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:\n\n* Alternative diagnoses that can explain neurological disability\n* History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial or interfere with participation for the full duration of the trial; or not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator\n* Severe immunodeficiency, bone marrow disease, or severe, uncontrolled infections.\n* Liver dysfunction, as indicated by baseline aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal\n* Positive serological evidence of HIV, HTLV-II, Hepatitis B or C\n* Treatment with immunomodulatory\u002Fimmunosuppressive therapy is exclusionary except in the cases below:\n\n  * current use of topical steroids\n  * Study participants who have been prescribed \\\u003C= 10 mg prednisone (PO) per day will be required to discontinue this medication for a period of at least 3 months (90 days) prior to enrolling in 21-N-0016.

It occurs in some people infected with the HTLV-1 virus. It leads to weakness in the lower limbs and other serious problems. It has no treatment. Teriflunomide is a drug used to treat multiple sclerosis. It reduces immune cells that make the disease worse. Researchers want to learn if this drug can help people with HAM\u002FTSP.\n\nObjective:\n\nTo learn the effects, immune response, safety, and tolerability of teriflunomide in people with HAM\u002FTSP.\n\nEligibility:\n\nAdults ages 18 and older with HAM\u002FTSP.\n\nDesign:\n\nParticipants will be screened under protocol 98-N-0047.\n\nParticipants will have a medical history. They will have physical and neurological exams. They will have blood and urine tests.\n\nParticipants will take 1 tablet of the study drug once a day for 9 months. They will keep a drug diary.\n\nParticipants will have lymphapheresis. For this, blood is drawn from a needle in one arm. A machine divides the blood into red cells, plasma, and white cells. The white cells are removed. The plasma and red cells are returned to the participant through a needle in the other arm.\n\nParticipants will have lumbar punctures ( spinal taps ). For this, a thin needle is inserted into the spinal canal in the lower back. Spinal fluid is removed.\n\nParticipants will have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine. The MRI scanner is a metal cylinder surrounded by a strong magnetic field. During the MRI, participants will lie on a table that can slide in and out of the scanner.\n\nParticipation will last for 15 months.",[112],"HAM\u002FTSP",[114,115,116],"Aubagio","Single center","Open Label","2026-10-02",{"date":119,"type":120},"2026-10-05","ACTUAL",{"date":122,"type":120},"2021-09-24",{"date":124,"type":105},"2029-12-31",{"name":59,"class":6},1]
