Secondary	Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)	The Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) is the average number of relapses per study arm in one year. A relapse is defined as the occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to multiple sclerosis (MS) and immediately preceded by a relatively stable or improving neurological state of at least 30 days. The adjusted ARR was based on the negative binomial regression model with parent treatment group, adjusted for region (Eastern Europe vs Rest of World), age at parent baseline, and the parent baseline number of gadolinium-enhanced (GdE) lesions. The natural log transformation of time on treatment was used as an offset term to adjust for participants having different exposure times.	From first dose up until last dose of study treatment or data-cutoff date, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 87 months)
Secondary	Time to First Relapse (TFR)	The time between first dose of study treatment and first relapse if experienced by a participant. A participant was censored if follow-up ended before a relapse occurred, whether due to the participant completing study, withdrawing from the study, or due to the cutoff of data collection for the analysis. The censor date was the date of the end of study or the date of the data cutoff for participant who were ongoing. Participants who withdrew from the study after the baseline visit were censored at the last known date while on study. Based on Kaplan-Meier product limit estimates.	Overall: From first dose to first relapse, last dose, or data-cutoff date, whichever occurred first (up to approx 87 months); Visits: 2 weeks post first dose, 3 months post first dose, and every 3 months thereafter up until 81 months post first dose.
Secondary	Number of Participants Who Were Relapse Free	The number of participants who did not experience relapse. A relapse is defined as the occurrence of new or worsening neurological symptoms attributable to multiple sclerosis (MS) and immediately preceded by a relatively stable or improving neurological state of at least 30 days.	From first dose to last dose of study treatment or data-cutoff date, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 87 months)
Secondary	Average Number of New or Enlarging Hyperintense T2-Weighted Brain MRI Lesions Per Scan at Each Visit	Adjusted Mean of new enlarging T2 lesions per scan at each visit. Based on a negative binomial regression model, adjusted for parent study, region (Eastern Europe vs. Rest of the World), age at Baseline, and baseline number of GdE lesions.; T2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences are used to highlight areas of demyelination in brain neurons, which happens when the outer layer of the neurons is damaged due to multiple sclerosis (MS) activity. T2 sequences can be used to count the total number of MS lesions, which look like bright white spots on T2 sequences, and can be called "hyperintense".	At 12 months post first dose and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
Secondary	Average Number of Gadolinium-Enhanced (GdE) Brain MRI Lesions Per Scan at Each Visit	Number of gadolinium-enhanced (GdE) (also called GdE enhanced T1) brain MRI lesions per scan at each visit.; Increased numbers of GdE lesions indicates an increase in the in the amount of active inflammation at the site and may be indicative of progressive disease.; Based on a negative binomial regression model, adjusted for parent study, region (Eastern Europe vs. Rest of the World), age at Baseline, and Baseline number of GdE lesions.; Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
Secondary	Time to Onset of Disability Progression as Defined by a Sustained Worsening in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)	Multiple sclerosis (MS) disability progression is defined as a sustained worsening in EDSS of 1.0 points or more from baseline, confirmed after a 3-month and 6-month period. The EDSS is a standardized method, widely accepted, numerical scale used to evaluate disability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The EDSS is evaluated according to signs and symptoms observed during a standard neurological examination. These clinical observations are classified in 7 FS scales, each of them grading signs and symptoms for different neurological functions: pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel or bladder, visual, and cerebral.; Derived using Kaplan-Meier estimates.	At 3 and 6 months post first dose.
Secondary	Number of Participants Free of Gadolinium-Enhanced (GdE) Brain Lesions at Each Visit	Number of participants without gadolinium enhanced (GdE) brain MRI lesions at each visit. Increased numbers of GdE lesions indicates an increase in the in the amount of active inflammation at the site and may be indicative of progressive disease.; Based on cumulative number of GdE lesions at a participant level.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
Secondary	Number of Participants Free of New or Enlarging T2 Lesions at Each Visit	Number of participants without new or enlarging T2 brain MRI lesions at each visit. Some multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesions appear as bright spots in a T2-weighted MRI scan - these are called T2 lesions. The presence of new or larger T2 lesions may mean the participant is at higher risk of disability and may have a less favorable long-term outcome.; Based on cumulative number of new or enlarging T2 lesions at a participant level.; Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
Secondary	Percent Change in Normalized Brain Volume (Atrophy) on Brain MRI Scans From Baseline at Each Visit	Percent change in normalized brain volume (Atrophy) on brain MRI scans from baseline at each visit. Brain atrophy can be seen in the earliest stages of multiple sclerosis (MS) and is a reliable predictor of future physical and cognitive disability.; Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until approximately 87 months post first dose.
Secondary	Change in Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) Score From Baseline at Each Applicable Visit	The Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) is a 3-part tool to measure disability progression in those with multiple sclerosis (MS). It assesses leg, arm, hand, and cognitive function using 3 individual scales: - The Timed 25-Foot Walk: To measure leg function - The 9-Hole Peg Test: To measure arm and hand function - The Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT): To measure cognitive processing speed, flexibility, and calculation ability. Scores from each of the three are converted into Z-scores and averaged to create an overall composite score. The Low-Contrast Letter Acuity Test (LCLA) is performed with the MSFC using a set of charts to assess low contrast visual acuity. Each chart corresponds to a different contrast level, and charts are scored based on the number of letters identified correctly. A Z-score of 0 represents the population mean. Standard deviations above the mean represent a better outcome. Baseline refers to assessments on or before receiving study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 84 months post first dose.
Secondary	Change in Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life 54 Score From Baseline at Each Applicable Visit	The Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life 54 (MSQOL-54) questionnaire is a health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instrument specific for multiple sclerosis (MS). This 54-item instrument generates 12 subscales along with two summary scores (physical health and mental health - derived from a weighted combination of scale scores), and two additional single-item measures. The subscales are: physical function, role limitations-physical, role limitations-emotional, pain, emotional well-being, energy, health perceptions, social function, cognitive function, health distress, overall quality of life, and sexual function. The MSQOL-54 items are transformed to 0-100 scores, and final scores are obtained by averaging items within the scales. The overall quality of life is assessed in question 54, which is scored on a scale of 0-100. Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life. Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 84 months post first dose.
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Volume of Gadolinium Enhanced T1 Lesions	Change from baseline in volume of gadolinium enhanced T1 lesions. T1-lesions are permanently damaged areas of the brain that appear as dark spots or "black holes" on a type of MRI scan. The growth of T1 lesions may mean the participant's Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is progressing.; Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Volume of T2 Lesions	Some multiple Sclerosis (MS) lesions appear as bright spots in a T2-weighted MRI scan - these are called T2 lesions. Larger T2 lesions may mean the participant is at higher risk of disability and may have a less favorable long-term outcome.; Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Volume of Unenhancing T1 Lesions	Change from baseline in volume of unenhancing T1 lesions. T1-lesions are permanently damaged areas of the brain that appear as dark spots or "black holes" on a type of MRI scan. The growth of T1 lesions may mean the participant's Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is progressing.; Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
Secondary	Cumulative Number of New Unenhancing T1 Lesions	Number of new unenhancing T1 lesions. T1-lesions are permanently damaged areas of the brain that appear as dark spots or "black holes" on a type of MRI scan. The appearance of new T1 lesions may mean the participant's MS is progressing.; Derived as the cumulative number of new or enlarging T1 lesions relative to baseline at a participant level.; Baseline refers to assessments made on or before the first day participants received study treatment.	At baseline and every 12 months thereafter up until 72 months post first dose.
