16 Weeks

CU active lesions were defined as a unique newly active or persistently active lesion on the protocol density/time constant 2 (PD/T2) scan or the gadolinium (Gd-) enhanced time constant 1 (T1) scan (with a method to avoid double counting).

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Baseline up to Week 40

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any new untoward medical occurrences/worsening of pre-existing medical condition without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. AEs were categorized based upon the treatment period during which they occurred, that is, double-blind period (up to Week 16) and rater-blind period (Week 17 up to Week 40).
