Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Summary of Raw Number of Cumulative Combined Unique Active Lesions in Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis by Visit and Treatment [weeks 4,8,12,16,20,24,28]

    Combined unique active lesions (CUAL) observed on brain MRI scans performed every 4th week from week 4 to week 24 in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). CUAL is defined as: new gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions on T1-weighted, or new or enlarging lesions on T2-weighted MRI scans, without double counting.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Raw Number of Cumulative New Gd-T1 Lesions [MRI brain scans performed every 4 weeks at week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 (EOS).]

    The summary of raw number of cumulative new Gadolinium-enhanced T1 lesions observed on brain MRI scans performed every 4th week from WK 4 to WK 28. The end-point is week 24.

  2. Raw Number of Cumulative New Gd-T2 Lesions [MRI brain scans performed every 4 weeks at week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28 (EOS).]

    The summary of raw number of cumulative new Gadolinium-enhanced T2 lesions observed on brain MRI scans performed every 4th week from WK 4 to WK 28. The endpoint is week 24.
