What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)

    The qualifying relapse is the occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) (for more than [>] 24 hours, no fever, infection, injury, adverse events (AEs), and preceded by a stable or improving neurological state for more than or equal to [>=] 30 days).

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0) up to 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (23)
  1. Change From Baseline in 14-Item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-14) Score at Month 6, 12 and 24

    The TSQM-14 was a participant-rated scale used to assess subjective satisfaction with medication. The TSQM has 14 questions that assesses participants' global satisfaction level with their treatment in 4 domains: side effects (There are 5 questions in the side effects domain, however one of them is a Yes/No question and there are 4 sub-components, hence a maximum score of 20), effectiveness (3 questions), global satisfaction (3 questions), and convenience (3 questions). All questions are scored from 1 (least satisfied) to 5 or 7 (most satisfied). The total score is summed for each domain to obtain: side effects (1-20), effectiveness (1-21), global satisfaction (1-17), and convenience (1-21), using transformed scores between 0 and 100. Lower total scores in each domain indicate dissatisfaction with the study medication and higher total scores indicate satisfaction.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24

  2. Change From Baseline in 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Score at Month 6, 12 and 24

    SF-36 was a multipurpose, participant completed, short-form health survey with 36 questions that consists of an 8-scale profile of functional health and well-being scores as well as psychometrically-based physical and mental health summary measures. Physical component summary (PCS) is mostly contributed by physical function (PF), role physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), and general health (GH). Mental component summary (MCS) is mostly contributed by mental health (MH), role emotional (RE), social function (SF), and vitality (VT). Each component on the SF-36 item health survey is scored from 0 (best) to 100 (worst). Total score ranges from 0-100 for each component summary (i.e., PCS and MCS), where higher scores are associated with less disability and better quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24

  3. Change From Baseline in Modified Fatigue Impact Scale - 5-item Version (MFIS-5) Total Score at Month 6, 12 and 24

    MFIS-5 is a modified form of the Fatigue Impact Scale that consists of 5 questions that assess the impact of fatigue on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning, with 5 response levels ranging from 0 to 4, where 0 = (Never), 1 = (Rarely), 2 = (Sometimes), 3 = (Often), 4 = (Almost always). Total scores range from 0 to 20, with higher scores representing a greater impact of fatigue.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24

  4. Change From Baseline in 7-Item Beck-Depression Inventory-Fast Screen (BDI-FS) Total Score at Month 6, 12 and 24

    The 7 items BDI-FS is a self-report inventory for measuring the severity of depression on a 7-item scale. The BDI-Fast Screen is scored by summing all of the highest ratings for each of the 7 items. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3. The maximum total score is 21. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24

  5. Change From Baseline in Percent Work Time Missed Assessed by 6-Item Work Productivity Activity Impairment - Multiple Sclerosis (WPAI-MS) Score at Month 6, 12 and 24

    The WPAI-MS questionnaire is a 6-items validated instrument to measure impairments in work and activities. The WPAI-MS included 6 questions: 1 (if currently employed); 2 (hours missed due to disease); 3 (hours missed other reasons); 4 (hours actually worked); 5 (degree disease affected productivity while working); 6 (degree disease affected regular activities). WPAI-MS generated four component scores: percentage of work time missed (absenteeism); percentage of impairment while working (presentisms); percentage of overall work impairment (absenteeism and presentisms combined); and percentage of activity impairment. Scores for WPAI range from 0% to 100%, where 0 % indicates no impairment and 100% is total loss of work productivity/activity. Change from baseline in percent work time missed (absenteeism) was reported.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24

  6. Change From Baseline in Percent Impairment While Working Assessed by 6-Item Work Productivity Activity Impairment - Multiple Sclerosis (WPAI-MS) Score at Month 6, 12 and 24

WPAI-MS generated four component scores: percentage of work time missed (absenteeism); percentage of impairment while working (presentisms); percentage of overall work impairment (absenteeism and presentisms combined); and percentage of activity impairment. Scores for WPAI range from 0% to 100%, where 0 % indicates no impairment and 100% is total loss of work productivity/activity. Change from baseline in percentage of impairment while working (presentisms) was reported.

    Measured: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24

  7. Change From Baseline in Percent Overall Work Impairment Assessed by 6-Item Work Productivity Activity Impairment - Multiple Sclerosis (WPAI-MS) Score at Month 6, 12 and 24
