Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
TP Cohort A and OLE Period: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and AEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation
Cohort A: From first dose of study drug up to end of follow-up (up to Week 104), OLE: Baseline (Week 96) up to the end of OLE period (up to Week 196)
TP Cohort B: Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) Through Week 96
Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 96
Part 1: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 24 (for prematurely discontinued participants, AEs were reported up to 2 weeks post discontinuation)

An adverse event (AE) was any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether/not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered treatment-emergent if it starts or worsens on or after the date of the first dose of study drug in the study until 1 day after the last dose of treatment, or completion of the safety follow-up visit, if applicable.(i.e. for participants who prematurely discontinued study treatment or withdrew from the study) . An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is a life-threatening event, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in a significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly, is a medically important event. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.

Part 1: Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory Parameters
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 24

Laboratory assessments included hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis parameters. Hematology parameters:basophils, hematocrit, red blood cell, total and differential leukocytes, platelets, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, hemoglobin. Blood chemistry parameters:sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose, calcium, uric acid, total protein, albumin, creatine phosphokinase, Lipid profile: blood cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides,serum follicle-stimulating hormone,Vitamin D,thyroid stimulating hormone,serum pregnancy, HIV/Hepatitis screen,tuberculosis test,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,Lactate Dehydrogenase,alkaline phosphatase,gamma glutamyl transferase,total bilirubin,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine and bicarbonate. Urinalysis parameters:color,pH,specific gravity,ketones,protein,glucose, bilirubin,nitrite,urobilinogen,occult blood,microscopic examination,urine albumin,beta-2-microglobulin,urine creatinine.

Part 1: Number of Participants With Abnormal Shift in 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Values
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 24

The number of participants with shifts to categorical values of ECG interpretation (e.g. abnormal) were presented by each cohort. Abnormal shift includes a shift from normal or unknown to abnormal.

Part 1: Number of Participants With Clinically Relevant Abnormalities in Vital Sign Parameters
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 24

Vital sign assessment included temperature, pulse rate systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate. The criteria for determining potentially clinically relevant abnormalities in vital signs included: temperature \< 36 and \> 38 degrees Celsius (C), pulse rate \< 60 and \> 100 beats per minute (bpm), systolic blood pressure (\< 90, \> 140 and \> 160 millimeters of mercury \[mmHg\]), diastolic blood pressure \< 50, \> 90 and \> 100 mmHg, weight (7% or more increase from baseline, 7% or more decrease from baseline) and respiratory rate \< 12 and \> 20 breaths per minute.

Part 1: Number of Participants With Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Events
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 24

The C-SSRS was an interview-based rating scale to systematically assess suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior. The C-SSRS includes 'yes' or 'no' responses for assessment of suicidal behavior (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, Suicidal behavior, completed suicide), suicidal ideation (wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active suicidal ideation with any methods, active suicidal ideation with some intent, active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior.

Parts 1 and 2: Number of Participants With TEAEs and TESAEs
From Day 1 up to the end of the study (up to Week 50)

An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of medicinal (investigational) product, whether/not related to medicinal (investigational) product. AE was considered treatment-emergent if it starts or worsens on or after the date of the first dose of study drug in the study until 1 day after the last dose of treatment. SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is a life-threatening event, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in a significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly, is a medically important event. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs. TEAEs and TESAEs for participants were collected cumulatively for Parts 1 and 2.

Part 2: Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory Parameters
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 48

Laboratory assessments included hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis parameters. Hematology parameters:basophils, hematocrit, red blood cell, total and differential leukocytes, platelets, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, hemoglobin. Blood chemistry parameters:sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose, calcium, uric acid, total protein, albumin, creatine phosphokinase, Lipid profile: blood cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides,serum follicle-stimulating hormone,Vitamin D,thyroid stimulating hormone,serum pregnancy, HIV/Hepatitis screen,tuberculosis test,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,Lactate Dehydrogenase,alkaline phosphatase,gamma glutamyl transferase,total bilirubin,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine and bicarbonate. Urinalysis parameters:color,pH,specific gravity,ketones,protein,glucose, bilirubin,nitrite,urobilinogen,occult blood,microscopic examination,urine albumin,beta-2-microglobulin,urine creatinine.

Part 2: Number of Participants With Abnormal Shift in 12-Lead ECG Values
Baseline (Day 1) to Week 48

The number of participants with shifts to categorical values of ECG interpretation (e.g. abnormal) were presented by each cohort. Abnormal shift includes a shift from normal or unknown to abnormal.

Part 2: Number of Participants With Clinically Relevant Abnormalities in Vital Sign Parameters
