Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   Safety and tolerability characterized by the incidence, relationship, and type of adverse events, serious adverse events, and adverse events leading to withdrawal from the trial as well as the incidence, relationship, and type of laboratory abnormalities, vital signs changes, electrocardiogram results, and physical examination abnormalities.
2. Suicidality will be assessed in the trial [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   Suicidality will be assessed with the C-SSRS (Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale) throughout the trial and post study drug safety follow-up.
3. Adverse events of special interest (AESIs) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   AESIs potentially associated with the pharmacologic effects of S1P modulators (ophthalmologic, cardiac, hepatic, infections, pulmonary, malignancy)
4. Dependence and withdrawal assessment - Physician's Withdrawal Checklist (PWC-20) in 80 participants who discontinue study drug [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The Physician's Withdrawal Checklist (PWC-20) is a rater-administered 20-item scale to assess signs and symptoms of withdrawal. Changes from last on study-drug assessment to post study drug Day 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 90 will be summarized
5. Dependence and withdrawal assessment - Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in 80 participants who discontinue study drug [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The HADS is a validated patient reported outcome for assessing anxiety and depression (Zigmond 1983; Bjelland 2002). It consists of 7 items related to anxiety and 7 items related to depression. Changes from last on study-drug assessment to post study drug Day 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 90 will be summarized
6. Dependence and withdrawal assessment - Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) in 80 participants who discontinue study drug [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The ESS is a validated self-administered questionnaire with 8 questions (Johns 1997), where higher scores indicate more daytime sleepiness. Changes from last on study-drug assessment to post study drug Day 1, 4, 7, 14, 21, 90 will be summarized.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Annualized relapse rate [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   Annualized relapse rate is based on relapses that were confirmed by the treating investigator to meet the protocol-defined definition of relapse A relapse is defined as the occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to MS and immediately preceded by a relatively stable or improving neurological state of at least 30 days. Confirmed relapses are accompanied by a change in EDSS. The adjusted annualized relapse rate will be the primary efficacy endpoint estimated using a negative binomial regression model adjusted for region, age at Baseline, and the Baseline number of GdE lesions, and included the natural log transformation of time on study as an offset term.
2. Time to first relapse [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   Time to first relapse will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods The estimated median time to relapse will be reported along with the associated 95% CI (or "NE" without a CI if the median is not estimable).
3. The number of new or enlarging hyperintense T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging lesions at each visit [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The total number of new or enlarging hyperintense T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging lesions at each visit will be collected and summarized by treatment group using descriptive statistics, counts, and percentages
4. The number of gadolinium-enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging lesions at each visit [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The total number gadolinium-enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging lesions at each visit will be collected and summarized using counts and percentages.
5. Time to onset of disability progression as defined by a sustained worsening in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) of 1.0 points or more from baseline [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   Sustained disability progression is defined as at least a 1.0 point increase on the EDSS score from the reference (Parent or OLE) Baseline, confirmed after a 3 month and a 6 month period. Confirmation of MS disease progression must not occur at the time of a relapse.
6. Proportion of patients who are free of gadolinium-enhanced lesions at each visit [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The proportion of patients who are free of gadolinium-enhanced lesions at each visit will be collected and reported.
7. Proportion of patients who are free of new or enlarging T2 lesions at each visit [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The proportion of patients who are free of new or enlarging T2 lesions at each visit will be collected and reported.
8. Normalized Brain Volume, Cortical Grey Matter and Thalamic Volume Loss [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   Percent change of brain volume, cortical grey matter volume and thalamic volume will be reported referencing parent baseline in parent studies and OLE. The percent change of the three brain atrophy assessments will be summarized using descriptive statistics by treatment group.
9. Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) and MSFC plus the Low-Contrast Letter Acuity Test (LCLA)) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
   The Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) (Cutter 1999) is a composite measure assessing upper extremity function, ambulation and cognition. The Low-Contrast Letter Acuity Test (LCLA) is performed with the MSFC assessments and assesses for disturbances in visual function seen in patients with MS . The change in MSFC and MSFC + LCLA score from Baseline at each applicable visit will be collected and reported.
10. Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life 54 [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
    The Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQOL-54) is a multidimensional health-related quality of life measure that combines both generic and MS-specific items into a single instrument (Vickrey 1995). The change in Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life 54 score from Baseline at each applicable visit will be collected and reported.
11. Changes in other magnetic resonance imaging variables including number and volume of gadolinium-enhanced T1 lesions, volume of T2 lesions, number of new or enlarging T2 lesions, volume of unenhancing T1 lesions, number of new unenhancing T1 lesions [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 7 years ]
    The changes in other magnetic resonance imaging variables including number and volume of gadolinium-enhanced T1 lesions, volume of T2 lesions, number of new or enlarging T2 lesions, volume of unenhancing T1 lesions, number of new unenhancing T1 lesions will be collected and reported.
