    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) [At Week 96]

      The annualized relapse rate at 96 weeks was to be calculated based on qualified relapses. A qualifying relapse is the occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to MS. The relapse should be accompanied by an increase of 0.5 points or more on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), or 2 points increase on one of the Functional System Scores (FSS), or 1 point increase on at least two of the FSS. The increase in FSS scores must be related to the neurological symptoms which were reported as new or worsening.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to First Occurrence of 12-Week Confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Progression [Baseline up to 96 weeks]

      EDSS is an ordinal scale in half-point increments that measures disability in participants with MS. EDSS progression is defined as an increase of 1 point or more from Baseline EDSS score when the Baseline score is 5.0 or less, and an increase of 0.5 points or more when the Baseline score is 5.5 or greater. Time to first occurrence of 12-week confirmed EDSS progression is defined as the time from randomization to the first EDSS progression event that was confirmed at a regularly scheduled visit at least 12 weeks later.

    2. Time to First Occurrence of 24-Week Confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Progression [Baseline up to 96 weeks]

      EDSS is an ordinal scale in half-point increments that measures disability in participants with MS. EDSS progression is defined as an increase of 1 point or more from Baseline EDSS score when the Baseline score is 5.0 or less, and an increase of 0.5 points or more when the Baseline score is 5.5 or greater. Time to first occurrence of 24-week confirmed EDSS progression is defined as the time from randomization to the first EDSS progression event that was confirmed at a regularly scheduled visit at least 24 weeks later.

    3. Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) Short Form Score at Week 96 [Baseline, Week 96]

      The PROMIS PF Short Form is specific to measuring the physical function domain of MS patients, with each item on the form scored on a T-score metric. Higher scores indicate higher PF. Change from baseline at Week 96 is the difference between the PROMIS PF scores at 96 weeks and at baseline.

    4. Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) MS Fatigue Score at Week 96 [Baseline, Week 96]

      The PROMIS Fatigue Short Form is specific to measuring the fatigue domain of MS patients, with each item on the form scored on a T-score metric. Higher scores indicate higher fatigue. Change from baseline at Week 96 is the difference between the PROMIS Fatigue scores at 96 weeks and at baseline.

    5. Total Number of Gadolinium-Enhancing (Gd+) Time Constant 1 (T1) Lesions Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans at Week 24, 48, and 96 [At Week 24, 48 and 96]

      Total number of Gd+ T1 lesions was to be assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    6. Total Number of New or Enlarging Time Constant 2 (T2) Lesions Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans at Week 24, 48, and 96 [At Week 24, 48 and 96]

      Total number of new or enlarging T2 lesions was to be assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    7. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) [Baseline up to 235 days]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal relationship with this treatment. Therefore, an AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, regardless if it is considered related to the medicinal product. TEAE is an AE that started after study drug treatment; or if the event was continuous from baseline and was serious, related to study drug, or resulted in death, discontinuation, interruption or reduction of study therapy. TEAEs includes both serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs. AESIs included liver AEs (possible drug induced, non-infectious, non-alcoholic and immune-mediated) infections (serious and opportunistic infections), lipase and amylase elevation, and seizure.

    8. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Based on Severity According to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 (NCI-CTCAE v4.03) [Baseline up to 235 days]

      TEAE is an AE that started after study drug treatment; or if the event was continuous from baseline and was serious, related to investigational medicinal product (IMP), or resulted in death, discontinuation, interruption or reduction of study therapy. Severity of TEAEs were graded using NCI-CTCAE v4.03 toxicity grades, as follows: Grade 1= Mild; Grade 2 = Moderate; Grade 3 = Severe; Grade 4 = Life-threatening and Grade 5 = Death. Number of participants with TEAEs based on severity were reported.

    9. Vital Signs: Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) [At Day 1, 83, 125 and 155]

      DBP and SBP were measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest for the participants at indicated time points.

      Pulse rate was measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest for the participants at indicated time points.

    11. Vital Signs: Respiratory Rate [At Day 1, 83, 125 and 155]

      Respiration rate was measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest for the participants at indicated time points.

    12. Vital Signs: Temperature [At Day 1, 83, 125 and 155]

      Temperature was measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest for the participants at indicated time points.

    13. Vital Signs: Weight [At Day 1, 83, 125 and 155]

    14. Number of Participants With Abnormal Lab Values [Baseline up to 235 days]

    Title Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Based on Severity According to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 (NCI-CTCAE v4.03)
    Description TEAE is an AE that started after study drug treatment; or if the event was continuous from baseline and was serious, related to investigational medicinal product (IMP), or resulted in death, discontinuation, interruption or reduction of study therapy. Severity of TEAEs were graded using NCI-CTCAE v4.03 toxicity grades, as follows: Grade 1= Mild; Grade 2 = Moderate; Grade 3 = Severe; Grade 4 = Life-threatening and Grade 5 = Death. Number of participants with TEAEs based on severity were reported.
    Time Frame Baseline up to 235 days

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    SAF analysis set included all participants who were administered any dose of any study intervention. No summary analysis was done. Following analysis of OLE data from RMS phase 2 study (MS200527- 0086), it was determined that a change in active comparator warranted in phase 3 RMS comprised of trial MS200527-0073. Consequently, this trial terminated early. Therefore, participant wise data reported and number analyzed= specific participant evaluated in respective arm at specified timepoint.
    Arm/Group Title Experimental: Evobrutinib + Avonex® Matched Placebo Active Comparator: Avonex® + Evobrutinib Matched Placebo
    Arm/Group Description Participants received active evobrutinib twice daily (BID) along with concomitant intramuscular (IM) injection of placebo matched to Avonex® once a week. Treatment period was planned to be of 96 weeks. Participants received IM injection of active Avonex® once a week along with concomitant placebo matched to evobrutinib BID. Treatment period was planned to be of 96 weeks.

    Limitations/Caveats

    Following analysis of open label extension (OLE) data from RMS phase 2 study (MS200527- 0086), it was determined that a change in active comparator warranted in phase 3 RMS comprised of trial MS200527-0073. Consequently, this trial terminated early, therefore, it was decided as per Statistical Analysis Plan not to report the efficacy data for this study.
