ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Number of Time Constant 1 (T1) Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing Lesions Per Subject and ScanBaseline , Week 12, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40Time Constant 1 (T1) Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing Lesions per Subject and Scan was calculated using 5 serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
SecondaryMean Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)Baseline up to Week 40
Relapse was defined as new, worsening or recurrent neurological symptoms attributed to multiple sclerosis that last for at least 24 hours without fever or infection, or adverse reaction to prescribed medication, preceded by a stable or improving neurological status of at least 30 days. These new or worsening symptoms should be noted by the patient and must be accompanied by at least one of the following: An increase of greater than or equal to (\>=) 1 grade in \>=2 functional scales of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) or an increase of \>=2 grades in 1 functional scale of the EDSS or an increase of \>= 0.5 or an increase of \>=1.0 in EDSS if the previous EDSS was 0. Annualized Relapse Rate was calculated as = 365.25 x (Number of relapses during Treatment Period) per (Number of days on treatment during Treatment Period).
SecondaryPercentage of Subjects Remaining Relapse-FreeBaseline up to Week 40
Relapse was defined as new, worsening or recurrent neurological symptoms attributed to multiple sclerosis that last for at least 24 hours without fever or infection, or adverse reaction to prescribed medication, preceded by a stable or improving neurological status of at least 30 days. These new or worsening symptoms should be noted by the patient and must be accompanied by at least one of the following: An increase of greater than or equal to (\>=) 1 grade in \>=2 functional scales of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) or an increase of \>=2 grades in 1 functional scale of the EDSS or an increase of \>= 0.5 or an increase of \>=1.0 in EDSS if the previous EDSS was 0.
SecondaryMean Number of New T1 Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing Lesions Per Subject and ScanWeeks 12, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40T1 Gd-enhancing lesions per subject and scan was measured using 5 serial MRI scans.
SecondaryMean Number of New or Enlarging Time Constant 2 (T2) Lesions Per Subject and ScanWeeks 12, 24, 28, 32, 36,40New or enlarging Time Constant 2 (T2) lesions per subject and scan was calculated using 5 serial MRI scans.
SecondaryMean Number of New, Unenhancing T1 Lesions (Black Holes) Per Subject and ScanWeeks 12, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40New, unenhancing T1 lesions (Black Holes) per subject and scan was calculated using 5 Serial MRIs.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Volume of T1 Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing Lesions Per Subject and ScanBaseline, Weeks 12, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40Change from baseline in volume of T1 Gd-enhancing lesions per subject was calculated using 5 Serial MRI Scans.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Volume of T2 Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing Lesions Per Subject and ScanBaseline, Weeks 12, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40Change from baseline per subjects in volume of T2 Gd-enhancing lesions was calculated using 5 series MRI scan.
SecondaryTime to First RelapseBaseline up to Week 40
Relapse was defined as new, worsening or recurrent neurological symptoms attributed to multiple sclerosis that last for at least 24 hours without fever or infection, or adverse reaction to prescribed medication, preceded by a stable or improving neurological status of at least 30 days. These new or worsening symptoms should be noted by the patient and must be accompanied by at least one of the following: An increase of greater than or equal to (\>=) 1 grade in \>=2 functional scales of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) or an increase of \>=2 grades in 1 functional scale of the EDSS or an increase of \>= 0.5 or an increase of \>=1.0 in EDSS if the previous EDSS was 0.
