Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to Conversion to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) Defined by Either a Second Attack or a Sustained Increase (Greater Than or Equal to 1.5 Points) in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) Score up to 36 Months
Baseline (Day 1 of Study 27025) up to 36 Months

CDMS was defined by the occurrence of a second attack or relapse over 36 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.

Time to Conversion to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) According to the McDonald Criteria (2005)
Various time points from randomization up to 24 months

The McDonald criteria use dissemination in time and space established by magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings to provide a clinical diagnosis for MS. Dissemination in time is established by a new time constant 2 (T2) or gadolinium-enhancing (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.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
RNFDRUGSingle dose of RNF will be administered subcutaneously three times weekly at least 48 hours apart at a starting dose of 8.8 microgram (mcg) for first 2 weeks followed by 22 mcg for next 2 weeks and finally 44 mcg until 60 months.
PlaceboDRUGSingle dose matching placebo will be administered subcutaneously twice weekly. Placebo is supplied as a transparent, sterile solution for injection in pre-filled syringes matching the RNF pre-filled syringes, each containing 0.5 milliliter (mL).
