Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Difference Between the Number of Newly Active Lesions in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Per Three Months During the 6-month Treatment Period and the Number of Newly Active Lesions During 3-month Pre-treatment
The primary efficacy variable was calculated by subtracting the number of newly active lesions during the 3-month pre-treatment period from the cumulative number of newly active lesions during the 6-month treatment period divided by 2 (number of newly active lesions per three months, new lesion frequency per 3 months)
after 6 months of treatment as compared to 3-month pre-treatment
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Difference Between the Number of New Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing Lesions Per 3 Months During the 6-month Treatment Period and the Number of New Gd-enhancing Lesions During 3-month Pre-treatment
after 6 months of treatment as compared to 3-month pre-treatment
Difference Between the Number of New or Enlarging T2 Lesions Per 3 Months During the 6-month Treatment Period and the Number of New or Enlarging T2 Lesions During 3-month Pre-treatment
after 6 months of treatment as compared to the 3-month pre-treatment
