Number of Patients Free of Gadolinium-enhanced T1-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Lesions at Both Month 3 and Month 6
Month 3 and Month 6

Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was performed at Month 3 and Month 6. Gadolinium-enhancing lesions (active lesions) represent acute inflammatory activity only and dissipate within 2-8 weeks of appearance. MRI scans were analyzed by blinded readers at the central MRI Evaluation Center to ensure consistency. Any Gd-enhanced T1 weighted MRI data obtained less than 14 days after the steroid used to treat MS relapses is invalid and excluded.

Month 6 (Core)

Total number of post-baseline Gd-enhanced lesions is calculated as a sum of all Gd-enhanced lesions seen on post-baseline scans per visit. Real (not per slice) lesions are counted in this analysis.

Mean Number of Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhanced T1-weighted Lesions at Month 12
Month 12 (extension)

Total number of post-baseline Gd-enhanced lesions is calculated as a sum of all Gd-enhanced lesions seen on post-baseline scans per visit. Real (not per slice) lesions are counted in this analysis.

Mean Number of Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhanced T1-weighted Lesions at Month 60
Month 60 (extension)

Total number of post-baseline Gd-enhanced lesions is calculated as a sum of all Gd-enhanced lesions seen on post-baseline scans per visit. Real (not per slice) lesions are counted in this analysis.

Mean Number of Gadolinium (Gd)-Enhanced T1-weighted Lesions at End of Study
Last observation (Up to 80 months in average)

Total number of post-baseline Gd-enhanced lesions is calculated as a sum of all Gd-enhanced lesions seen on post-baseline scans per visit. Real (not per slice) lesions are counted in this analysis. The last observation was the last observation available for each patient which ranged from 1 to 2801 days

Extension: In dose -blind period and open label, fingolimod 1.25 mg once daily for 9-18 months (6 months to 24 months). Later, all patients converted to fingolimod 0.5 mg, once daily for rest of the study participation.
Placebo/Fingolimod (FTY720)PLACEBO_COMPARATORCore study: patients received placebo, once daily for 6 months. Extension: In dose-blind period patients were re-randomized into either fingolimod 1.25 mg or 5.0 mg once per day for 6-15 months. In open-label period patients received fingolimod 1.25 mg once per day for 15 to 24 months. Later, all patients converted to fingolimod 0.5 mg, once daily for rest of the study participation.
Fingolimod (FTY720) 5.0 mg/dayEXPERIMENTALCore study: patients received fingolimod 5.0 mg, once daily for 6 months. Extension: In dose-blind period fingolimod 5.0 mg once daily for 6-15 months. For open-label phase 15 to 24 months 1.25mg once daily. Later, all patients converted to fingolimod 0.5 mg, once daily for rest of the study participation.
