Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Onset of 6-Month Confirmed Disability Progression (CDP) as Assessed by Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
The EDSS is a disability scale that assesses the following 7 functional domains: visual, brainstem, pyramidal [motor], cerebellar [coordination], sensory, cerebral, and bowel/bladder. The total EDSS ranges from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to multiple sclerosis [MS]) (0.5 increments from 1-10; next increase after 0 is 1). Higher scores indicated increased disability. Time to onset of 6-month CDP was defined as the time from randomization to the onset of a sustained increase from baseline in EDSS score of >=1.0 point from the baseline EDSS score when the baseline score was <=5.0 or of >=0.5 points when the baseline EDSS score was >5.0 confirmed after a minimum 6-month interval.
Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Onset of 3-month Confirmed Disability Progression as Assessed by Expanded Disability Status Scale
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
The EDSS is a disability scale that assesses the following 7 functional domains: visual, brainstem, pyramidal [motor], cerebellar [coordination], sensory, cerebral, and bowel/bladder. The total EDSS ranges from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) (0.5 increments from 1-10; next increase after 0 is 1). Higher scores indicated increased disability. Time to onset of 3-month CDP was defined as the time from randomization to the onset of a sustained increase from baseline in EDSS score (of >=1.0 point from the baseline EDSS score when the baseline score is <=5.0, of >=0.5 points when the baseline EDSS score is >5.0) confirmed after a minimum 3-month interval. The confirmation of 3-month CDP followed the same criteria as that of 6-month CDP.
Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
Mean Number of New and/or Enlarging T2-hyperintense Lesions Per Year
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was performed to identify number of new and/or enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions defined as the sum of the individual number of new and/or enlarging T2 lesions from baseline up to and including the EOS visit.
Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
Time to Onset of Sustained 20% Increase in the 9-hole Peg Test (HPT) for at Least 3 Months
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
The 9-HPT is a brief, standardized, quantitative test of upper extremity function and the time to complete the 9-HPT is used to assess a participant's manual dexterity and fine motor skills. A participant was asked to place the pegs into the holes and remove them with the dominant and non-dominant hand; two successful trials for each hand. The amount of time (in seconds) required to place and remove all nine pegs was recorded for each trial (ranging from 10 to 300 seconds). The mean time to test completion served for assessment of the participant's hand dexterity. Higher value indicated worse outcome. An increase of >20% from the baseline in the 9-HPT was considered meaningful worsening; time to onset of sustained 20% increase for at least 3 months is presented.
Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
Time to Onset of Sustained 20% Increase in the Timed 25-foot Walk (T25-FW) for at Least 3 Months
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
The T25-FW test is a quantitative mobility and leg function performance test used to assess a participant's walking ability. A participant was directed to one end of a clearly marked 25-foot course and instructed to walk 25 feet as quickly as safely possible for 2 trials. The amount of time (in seconds) to walk 25 feet was recorded (ranging from 2.2 to 180 seconds). The mean walk time was used for assessment of the participant's walking ability. Higher value indicated worse outcome. An increase of >20% from the baseline in the T25-FW test was considered meaningful worsening; time to onset of sustained 20% increase for at least 3 months is presented.
Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
Time to Onset of 6-month Confirmed Disability Improvement (CDI) as Assessed by Expanded Disability Status Scale
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
The EDSS is a disability scale that assesses the following 7 functional domains: visual, brainstem, pyramidal [motor], cerebellar [coordination], sensory, cerebral, and bowel/bladder. The total EDSS ranges from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) (0.5 increments from 1-10; next increase after 0 is 1). Higher scores indicated increased disability. CDI was defined as a >=1 point decrease in the EDSS score from baseline confirmed over at least 6 months.
Baseline (Day 1) up to approximately 47 months
Percent Change in Brain Volume at EOS Compared to Month 6
Time Frame: Month 6 to EOS (up to approximately 47 months)
MRI of the brain was performed to evaluate percent change in brain volume which is considered as a marker of the central nervous system degenerative process. Least squares (LS) mean is presented.
Month 6 to EOS (up to approximately 47 months)
Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function as Assessed by Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) at EOS
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to EOS (up to approximately 47 months)
The SDMT is used to assess processing speed, divided attention, visual scanning, tracking and motor speed. It involves a simple substitution task using a reference key. The number of correct substitutions and number of items completed within a 90 second interval (maximum 110 seconds) are recorded. A decrease of 4 points from baseline on the SDMT is considered meaningful worsening. The score was the number of correctly coded items from 0-110 in 90 seconds; higher scores indicated better outcome. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first dose of study intervention.

Change From Baseline in Cognitive Function as Assessed by California Verbal Learning Test Second Edition (CVLT-II) at EOS
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to EOS (up to approximately 47 months)
The CVLT-II is a verbal learning and memory test consisting of recall and recognition of a list of 16 words. The list was read by the examiner, participants listened to the list and reported as many of the items as possible. For each assessment, 5 trials were completed. Standardized scores were used for analysis. The maximum possible score was 80 and a minimum was 0. A higher score indicated better recall meaning improved cognitive function. LS mean is presented. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first dose of study intervention.

Change From Baseline in Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQoL-54) Questionnaire Score at EOS
Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1) to EOS (up to approximately 47 months)
MSQoL-54 is standardized instrument with generic and MS-specific items which generates 12 subscales & 2 single-item measures (satisfaction with sexual function [1 item] & change in health [1 item].12 subscales are as follows:a:physical health (10 items),b:health perceptions (5 items), c:energy (5 items),d:role limitation physical (4 items),e:sexual function (4 items),f:pain (3 items),g:social function (3 items),h:health distress (4 items),i:overall quality of life (2 items),j:emotional well-being (5 items),k:role limitations emotional (3 items) and l:cognitive function (4 items).Physical health composite score was calculated as weighted sum of 'a to h' subscales and mental health composite score was calculated as weighted sum of 'i to l' subscales mentioned above.Each composite score was transformed linearly to common 0 (worst) to 100 (best) score range;LS mean is presented.Higher score indicated improved QoL.Baseline:last available value prior to first dose of study intervention.
Baseline (Day 1) to EOS (up to approximately 47 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs), Treatment-emergent Serious AEs, Treatment-emergent AEs Leading to Permanent Study Intervention Discontinuation, and Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)
Time Frame: From first dose of study intervention (Day 1) up to end of follow-up, up to approximately 47 months
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was an important medical event. An AESI was an AE (serious or nonserious) of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's product or program for which ongoing monitoring and immediate notification by the Investigator to the Sponsor was required. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the TE period.
