Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Signed informed consent prior to initiation of any study-mandated procedure.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and use reliable methods of contraception
- Presenting with a diagnosis of MS as defined by the revised (2010) McDonald Diagnostic Criteria for MS with relapsing course from onset (i.e., relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) with superimposed relapses).
- Ongoing treatment with DMF for at least 6 months prior to screening
- Active disease after at least 3 months of DMF treatment
- Ambulatory and with an EDSS score between 0 and 6.0 (inclusive).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Lactating or pregnant women and women intending to become pregnant during the study.
- Presenting with a diagnosis of MS with progressive course from onset (i.e., primary progressive MS or progressive relapsing MS).
- Evidence of a relapse of MS with onset within 30 days prior to baseline EDSS assessment.
- Any circumstances or conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect full participation in the study or compliance with the protocol.

Participant Group / ArmParticipant Group / Arm |
Intervention / TreatmentIntervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
|
One tablet of matching placebo administered orally once daily in the morning
|
|
Experimental: Ponesimod
|
One tablet of ponesimod 20 mg administered orally once daily in the morning from Day 15 to EOT.
To reduce the first-dose effect of ponesimod, an uptitration scheme will be implemented from Day 1 to Day 14 (with dose strength increasing from 2 mg to 20 mg).

Primary Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Annualized Confirmed Relapse Rate (ARR)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 68 weeks
|
Relapse: occurrence of acute episode of one or more new or worsened symptoms of Multiple sclerosis (MS), not associated with fever/infection and lasting 24 hours after stable 30 days period.
Confirmed relapse: increase from baseline at least 0.5 point Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score or increase of one point in one, two or three Functional Systems (FS), excluding bowel/bladder and cerebral/mental FS.
EDSS and FS scores are based on neurological examination for assessing its impairment in MS.
Among eight FS, seven are ordinal clinical rating scales ranging from 0-5 or 6 with higher scale indicates overall functional impairment assessing Visual, Brain Stem, Pyramidal, Cerebellar, Sensory, Bowel/Bladder and Cerebral functions.
Rating individual FS scores is used to rate EDSS in conjunction with observations and information concerning gait and use of assistance.
EDSS is ordinal clinical rating scale ranging from 0 (normal neurological examination) to 10(death due to MS).

Secondary Outcome Measures
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Percentage of Participants With 12-Week Confirmed Disability Accumulation (CDA) as Assessed by Kaplan Meier Estimate at Week 96
Time Frame: Week 96
|
Percentage of participants with 12-week CDA as assessed by Kaplan Meier estimate at week 96 was defined as an increase of at least 1.5 in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) for participants with a baseline EDSS score of 0.0 or an increase of at least 1.0 in EDSS for participants with a baseline EDSS score of 1.0 to 5.0, or an increase of at least 0.5 in EDSS for participants with a baseline EDSS score greater than or equal to (>=) 5.5, which was confirmed after 12 weeks.
Baseline EDSS was defined as the last EDSS score recorded prior to randomization.
EDSS is an ordinal clinical rating scale ranging from 0 (normal neurological examination) to 10 (death due to MS).
|
Week 96
|
|
Percentage of Participants Experiencing a Confirmed Relapse as Assessed by Kaplan Meier Estimate at Week 96
Time Frame: Week 96
|
Percentage of participants experiencing a confirmed relapse as assessed by Kaplan Meier estimate at week 96 was reported.
The time to first confirmed relapse (in days) is defined as [Date of first confirmed relapse minus Date of randomization plus 1] in days.
Relapse: Occurrence of acute episode of one or more new symptoms or worsened symptoms of Multiple sclerosis (MS), not related with fever/infection and lasting 24 hours after 30 days stable period.
|
Week 96
|
|
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Time Frame: Up to 147 Weeks
|
An AE is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participants administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
|
Up to 147 Weeks
