    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) [Up to 156 weeks]

      The annualized relapse rates over 96 weeks will be calculated based on qualified relapses. Qualifying relapse is defined as occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (for more than 24 hours, no fever, infection, injury, adverse events, and preceded by a stable or improving neurological state for greater than or equal to (=>) 30 days).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to First Occurrence of 12-Week Confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Progression [Up to 156 weeks]

    2. Time to First Occurrence of 24-Week Confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Progression [Up to 156 weeks]

    3. Time to First Occurrence of 24-Weeks Confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Improvement [Up to 156 weeks]

    4. Change from Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) MS Physical Function (PF) Short Form Score [Baseline up to 96 weeks]

    5. Change from Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) MS Fatigue Short Form Score [Baseline up to 96 weeks]

    6. Total Number of Gadolinium-Enhancing (Gd+) T1 Lesions Assessed by all Available Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans [Up to Week 156]

    7. Total Number of New or Enlarging T2 Lesions Assessed by the Last Available Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan [Up to Week 156]

    8. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) Serum Concentration [At Week 12]

    9. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) [Baseline up to 156 weeks]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal relationship with this treatment.

    10. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs, Laboratory Parameters and Electrocardiogram Findings [Baseline up to 156 weeks]

      Number of participants with clinically significant change from baseline in vital signs, laboratory parameters and electrocardiogram findings will be reported.

    11. Absolute Concentrations of Immunoglobulin (Ig) Levels [Baseline up to 156 weeks]

    12. Change From Baseline in Immunoglobulin (Ig) Levels [Baseline up to 156 weeks]

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years to 55 Years
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    • Participants are diagnosed with RMS (relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [RRMS] or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis [SPMS] with relapses) in accordance with 2017 Revised McDonald criteria (Thompson 2018)

    • Participants with one or more documented relapses within the 2 years before Screening with either: a. one relapse which occurred within the last year prior to randomization, OR b. the presence of at least 1 gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) T1 lesion within 6 months prior to randomization

    • Participants have Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0 to 5.5 at Screening and Baseline (Day 1). Participants with an EDSS score <= 2 at Screening and Baseline (Day 1) are only eligible for participation if their disease duration (time since onset of symptoms) is no more than 10 years

    • Participants are neurologically stable for >= 30 days prior to both screening and baseline (Day 1)

    • Female participants must be neither pregnant nor breast-feeding or must lack child-bearing potential (as defined by either: post-menopausal or surgically sterile), or use an effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and at least 2 years after study intervention due to the long elimination period for teriflunomide of 2 years, unless the participant undergoes an accelerated elimination procedure

    • Male participants must refrain from donating sperm and/or abstain from intercourse with women of child-bearing potential or use an effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and at least 2 years after study intervention due to the long elimination period for teriflunomide of 2 years, unless the participant undergoes an accelerated elimination procedure

    • Participants have given written informed consent prior to any study-related procedure

    • Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply.

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • Participants diagnosed with Progressive MS, in accordance with the 2017 Revised McDonald criteria as follows: a). Participants with Primary Progressive MS. b).

    Participants with secondary progressive MS without evidence of relapse

    • Disease duration more than (>) 10 years in participants with an EDSS =< 2.0 at screening

    • Immunologic disorder other than MS, or any other condition requiring oral, intravenous (IV) , intramuscular, or intra-articular corticosteroid therapy, with the exception of well-controlled Type 2 diabetes mellitus or well controlled thyroid disease

    • Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply.
