ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryAnnualized Relapse Rate (ARR)Baseline up to 2.5 years
ARR was the number of confirmed relapses in a year, calculated as the total number of relapses for all participants in the treatment group divided by the total participant-years of time in study. A confirmed MS relapse was defined as one accompanied by a clinically-relevant change in the EDSS performed by the Independent EDSS rater, i.e. an increase of at least 0.5 points on the EDSS score, or an increase of 1 point on two functional scores or 2 points on one functional score (excluding changes involving bowel/bladder or cerebral functional system). Comparisons were made to the previous rating (the last EDSS rating that did not occur during a relapse).
Secondary3-month Confirmed Disability Worsening (3mCDW) Based on EDSS - Pooled DataBaseline, every 3 months up to 2.5 years
A 3-month confirmed disability worsening (3mCDW) was defined as an increase from baseline in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score sustained for at least 3 months. For patients with a baseline EDSS of 0, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1.5, for patients with a baseline EDSS of 1 to 5 or ≥5.5, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1 or ≥0.5, respectively. This study was not powered for the analysis of this endpoint individually. It was pre-specified in the study protocol to combine the data from this study with study COMB157G2302 to address this endpoint.
Secondary3-month Confirmed Disability Worsening (3mCDW) Based on EDSS - Study COMB157G2301Baseline, every 3 months up to 2.5 years
A 3-month confirmed disability worsening (3mCDW) was defined as an increase from baseline in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score sustained for at least 3 months. For patients with a baseline EDSS of 0, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1.5, for patients with a baseline EDSS of 1 to 5 or ≥5.5, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1 or ≥0.5, respectively. This study was not powered for the analysis of this endpoint individually. It was pre-specified in the study protocol to combine the data from this study with study COMB157G2302 to address this endpoint.
Secondary6-month Confirmed Disability Worsening (6mCDW) Based on EDSS - Pooled DataBaseline, every 3 months up to 2.5 years
A 6-month confirmed disability worsening (6mCDW) was defined as an increase from baseline in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score sustained for at least 6 months. For patients with a baseline EDSS of 0, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1.5, for patients with a baseline EDSS of 1 to 5 or ≥5.5, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1 or ≥0.5, respectively. This study was not powered for the analysis of this endpoint individually. It was pre-specified in the study protocol to combine the data from this study with study COMB157G2302 to address this endpoint.
Secondary6-month Confirmed Disability Worsening (6mCDW) Based on EDSS - Study COMB157G2301Baseline, every 3 months up to 2.5 years
A 6-month confirmed disability worsening (6mCDW) was defined as an increase from baseline in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score sustained for at least 6 months. For patients with a baseline EDSS of 0, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1.5, for patients with a baseline EDSS of 1 to 5 or ≥5.5, the criterion for disability worsening was an increase in EDSS of ≥1 or ≥0.5, respectively. This study was not powered for the analysis of this endpoint individually. It was pre-specified in the study protocol to combine the data from this study with study COMB157G2302 to address this endpoint.
Secondary6-month Confirmed Disability Improvement (6mCDI ) Based on EDSS - Pooled DataBaseline, every 3 months up to 2.5 years
A 6-month confirmed disability improvement (6mCDI) was defined as a decrease from baseline EDSS sustained for at least 6 months. For patients with a baseline EDSS of 0 to 1.5, no disability improvement was possible based on the protocol definition of an improvement; for patients with a baseline EDSS of ≥2 to 6 or ≥6.5 to 9.5, the criterion for disability improvement was a decrease in EDSS of ≤1 or ≤0.5, respectively. This study was not powered for the analysis of this endpoint individually. It was pre-specified in the study protocol to combine the data from this study with study COMB157G2302 to address this endpoint.
Secondary6-month Confirmed Disability Improvement (6mCDI ) Based on EDSS - Study COMB157G2301Baseline, every 3 months up to 2.5 years
A 6-month confirmed disability improvement (6mCDI) was defined as a decrease from baseline EDSS sustained for at least 6 months. For patients with a baseline EDSS of 0 to 1.5, no disability improvement was possible based on the protocol definition of an improvement; for patients with a baseline EDSS of ≥2 to 6 or ≥6.5 to 9.5, the criterion for disability improvement was a decrease in EDSS of ≤1 or ≤0.5, respectively.

SecondaryNumber of Gd-enhancing T1 Lesions Per MRI ScanBaseline, yearly up to 2.5 yearsTotal number of Gd-enhancing T1 lesions across all scans per patient adjusted for different number of scans due to variable follow-up time in study.
SecondaryNumber of New or Enlarging T2 Lesions on MRI Per Year (Annualized Lesion Rate)Baseline, yearly up to 2.5 yearsNumber of new/enlarging T2 lesions on last available MRI scan compared to baseline adjusted for different time of scans versus baseline due to variable follow up time in study
SecondaryNeurofilament Light Chain (NfL) Concentration in SerumMonth 3, 12 and 24The NfL concentration (geometric mean concentration) was estimated by treatment and time point with using a repeated measures model on the basis of all evaluable log-transformed NfL values.
