Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)
ARR is defined as the number of Independent Relapse Adjudication Committee (IRAP)-confirmed relapses per participant year. The estimate of ARR for a treatment group is the total number of relapses for participants in the respective treatment group divided by the sum of treatment duration for participants in that specific treatment group.
Up to 96 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (7)
Total Number of Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhancing T1-Lesions Per Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan Per Participant
Weeks 12, 24, 48, and 96
Total Number of New and Enlarging T2 Hyperintense Lesions (NELs) Per MRI Scan Per Participant
Weeks 24, 48, and 96
Time to Confirmed Disability Progression (CDP) for at Least 12 Weeks
Up to Week 96
Percentage of Participants With No Evidence of Disease Activity (NEDA)
From Week 24 to Week 96
Percentage of Participants With Impaired Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT)
Baseline to Week 96
- +2 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Ublituximab + Oral Placebo
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received ublituximab intravenous (IV) infusion, 150 milligrams (mg) over 4 hours (h) on Day 1 followed by 450 mg over 1 h on Days 15, 168, 336 and 504 (Week 72) along with the oral placebo tablet, once daily (QD) from Day 1 up to the last day of Week 95.
Teriflunomide + IV Placebo
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants received teriflunomide 14 mg tablet, orally, QD from Day 1 up to the last day of Week 95 along with the placebo IV infusion on Days 1, 15, 168, 336 and 504 (Week 72).
Interventions
Administered as an IV infusion.
