What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
number of new/newly enlarged T2 MRI lesions over 6 months
Time Frame: 6 months
Cumulative number of new/newly enlarged T2 lesions over 6 months
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
annualized relapse rate (ARR)
Time Frame: 6 months
The annualized relapse rate (ARR) is identified as the average number of confirmed relapses per year (the total number of confirmed relapses divided by the total days in the study multiplied by 365.25). The number of relapses will include all the confirmed relapses during the study. The time spent in the study will correspond to the observation period for all the relapses from first dose on the study drug to end of study.
6 months
number of Gd-enhancing T1 lesions
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months
Safety and tolerability of fingolimod 0.5 mg compared to placebo
Time Frame: 12 months
Based on frequency of adverse events (the number and percentage of patients having any AE by primary system organ class and preferred term) and on the incidence of clinically notable abnormalities
12 months
