Long-term Follow-Up of Patients Who Participated in Study 27025 (REFLEX)

EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) was calculated. A confirmed EDSS progression was defined EDSS greater than or equal to 1.0 point confirmed during a visit performed 6 months later. Time to confirmed EDSS progression was represented by Kaplan-Meier estimates of the cumulative percentage (%) of participants with confirmed EDSS progression.

Number of CUA lesions, new T2 lesions, new Gd+ lesions and new T1 lesions were measured by using MRI scans.

Change from baseline in lesion volume was measured by using MRI scans for T1 hypointense lesions and T2 lesions at Month 36

Percent change in brain volume was measured by using MRI scans.

The McDonald criteria use dissemination in time and space established by MRI findings to provide a clinical diagnosis for MS. Dissemination in time is established by a new T2 or Gd+ lesion found on a repeat MRI. Dissemination in space is established by the presence of any 3 of the following: 1 Gd+ lesion or 9 T2 bright lesions if there is no enhancement; greater than or equal to 1 infratentorial lesion; greater than or equal to 1 juxtacortical lesion; greater than or equal to 3 periventricular lesions.

The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) is a measure of cognitive function that specifically assesses auditory information processing speed and flexibility, as well as calculation ability. Score ranges from '0-60'. Higher scores reflect better neurological function and a positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

A relapse was defined as the development of new or the exacerbation of existing neurological symptoms or signs, in the absence of fever, lasting for 24 hours and with a previous period for more than 30 days with a stable or an improving condition.

EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) was calculated. The change in EDSS score at Month 36 was calculated as EDSS score at Month 36 minus EDSS score at baseline.

The MSFC is a multidimensional clinical outcome measure which consists of three sub-tests; Timed 25-Foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg Test and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test-3(PASAT-3). The Timed 25-Foot Walk is a quantitative measure of lower extremity function. The 9-Hole Peg Test is a quantitative measure of upper extremity (arm and hand) function. The PASAT is a measure of cognitive function that specifically assesses auditory information processing speed and flexibility, as well as calculation ability. Standardized results (Z-scores) of these sub-tests and the overall MSFC Z-score as an average of these three Z-scores was calculated. Higher Z-scores reflect better neurological function and a positive change from baseline indicates improvement. An increase in score indicates an improvement (range -3 to +3).

BAbs are all antibodies which are capable of binding to the investigational drug molecule (RNF) irrespective of their binding site. NAbs are defined as a subgroup of BAbs which bind to the active sites of the RNF and therefore neutralize its potency. NAbs were detected using a viral cytopathic assay. BAbs were measured by using an ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in the form of signs, symptoms, abnormal laboratory findings, or diseases that emerges or worsens relative to baseline during a clinical study with an Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP), regardless of causal relationship and even if no IMP has been administered. SAE: Any AE that resulted in death; was life threatening; resulted in persistent/significant disability/incapacity; resulted in/prolonged an existing in-patient hospitalization; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or was a medically important condition.

CDMS was defined by the occurrence of a second attack or relapse over 60 months in participants who presented with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) accompanied by an abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to multiple sclerosis [MS]) was calculated. Time to conversion to CDMS was represented by Kaplan-Meier estimates of the cumulative percentage (%) of participants with CDMS.

EDSS assesses disability in 8 functional systems. An overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS) was calculated. A confirmed EDSS progression was defined EDSS greater than or equal to 1.0 point confirmed during a visit performed 6 months later. Time to confirmed EDSS progression was represented by Kaplan-Meier estimates of the cumulative percentage (%) of participants with confirmed EDSS progression.

Number of CUA lesions, new T2 lesions, new Gd+ Lesions and new T1 lesions were measured by using MRI scans.

Change from baseline in lesion volume was measured by using MRI scans for T1 hypointense lesions and T2 lesions.
