Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Proportion of participants achieving ≥4 point reduction from baseline in Worst itch Numerical Rating Scale (WI NRS)
Baseline, Week 12

The WI-NRS is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument consisting of a single question that asks participants to rate the severity of their worst itch over a defined period. The score range is from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Higher scores indicate worse itch severity.

Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Baseline, up to Week 280

Evaluate the safety of long-term treatment with remibrutinib in adult participants with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa.

Number of participants with the occurrence of AEs or SAEs
throughout the study, approximately 7 years
Time to 6-month confirmed disability progression (6mCDP) on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
From baseline up to approximately 5 years

The EDSS is an ordinal scale used for assessing neurologic impairment in MS based on a neurological examination. It consists of scores in each of seven functional systems and an ambulation score that are then combined to determine the EDSS steps (ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS)). 6mCDP is defined as an increase from baseline in EDSS sustained for at least 6 months.

Absolute change from baseline in Weekly Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7) at Week 4
Baseline, Week 4

The UAS7 is the sum of the Weekly Hives Severity (HSS7) score and the Weekly Itch Severity (ISS7) score, and ranges from 0-42. Weekly scores (HSS7 and ISS7 scores) will be derived by adding up the average daily scores of the 7 days preceding the visit.

Annualized rate of new or enlarging T2 lesions_Core Part
Baseline up to month 24

Number of new/enlarging T2 lesions per year on MRI at month 24 (relative to baseline)

Change from baseline to Month 6 in Myasthenia Gravis Activity of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score
Baseline to Month 6

The MG-ADL is a categorical scale that assesses MG symptoms and their effects on daily activities. MG-ADL is composed of items related to patient's assessment of functional disability secondary to ocular (2 items), bulbar (3 items), respiratory (1 item), and gross motor or limb (2 items) impairment related to effects from MG. Each item is assessed on a 4-points scale where a score 0 represents normal function and a score 3 represents loss of ability to perform that function (total score 0 to 24).

Proportion of participants with complete response in Total Fric Score; symptomatic dermographism
Week 12

Total Fric score (a scale from 0-4 where a positive response with all of the four pins is TFS = 4, while a positive response with only one pin - the largest pin is TFS = 1)

Proportion of participants with complete response in critical temperature threshold; cold urticaria
Week 12

The Temptest is used to induce itch and hives in participants with cold urticaria. Critical temperature threshold (CTT), as measured by the Temptest, determines the highest temperature that induces symptoms.

Proportion of participants with itch numerical rating scale =0; cholinergic urticaria
Week 12

Itch numerical rating scale, a scale from 0 to 10 Patients are asked to rate itching severity based on the worst level of itching in the past 24 h using an 11-point scale from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst itch imaginable")

Absolute change from baseline in Weekly Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7)
Week 12

The UAS7 is the sum of the Weekly Hives Severity Score (HSS7 score) and the Weekly Itch Severity Score (ISS7 score). The possible range of the weekly UAS7 score is 0 - 42 (highest activity).

Annualized relapse rate (ARR) of confirmed relapses [Core Part]
From Baseline, up to 30 months

ARR is the average number of confirmed MS relapses in a year

Quantitative MRI volumetric measurements
Baseline to Month 24

Rate of change in regional brain volumes using 7T MRI over 24 months

Slowly expanding lesions (SELs)
Baseline to Month 24

Prevalence of SELs identified using 7T MRI over 24 months

Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) -- count
Baseline to Month 24

Change in count of PRLs identified using 7T MRI over 24 months

Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) -- size
Baseline to Month 24

Change in size of PRLs identified using 7T MRI over 24 months

Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) -- quantitative susceptibility measures
Baseline to Month 24

Change in quantitative susceptibility measures of PRLs identified using 7T MRI over 24 months

Myelin Water Fraction
Baseline to Month 24

Rate of change in myelin water fraction assessed using 7T MRI over 24 months

Functional MRI (Default mode network)
Baseline to Month 24

Functional MRI changes (default mode network) assessed using 7T MRI over 24 months

Microstructural tissue integrity
Baseline to Month 24

Rate of change in microstructural tissue integrity assessed using 7T MRI over 24 months

Leptomeningeal enhancement
Baseline to Month 24

Prevalence of leptomeningeal enhancement identified using 7T MRI over 24 months

Neuromelanin
Baseline to Month 24

Prevalence of regional neuromelanin changes identified using 7T MRI over 24 months

Absolute change from baseline in the weekly most bothersome symptom Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score on the Urticaria Symptom Daily Diary (USDD)
Baseline, Week 6

To investigate the efficacy of remibrutinib versus placebo for the most bothersome symptom in CINDU patients. The USDD was developed to assess daily exposure and avoidance of triggers, severity of urticaria symptoms (including NRS for pain itch and burning). On the first day of completion, the participants will be asked which symptom (itch, pain, and burning) is the most bothersome symptom of urticaria.

Absolute change from baseline in Urticaria Control Test 7 (UCT7) weekly scores
Baseline, Week 6

To investigate the impact of remibrutinib versus placebo on urticaria symptom control. The UCT is a 4-item PRO measure developed to assess disease control in patients with CU specifically CINDU and CSU. It has a 7-day recall period and participants respond with how much they were bothered by their urticaria symptoms, what is the impact on QoL, how often the treatment did not control their urticaria and their overall perception of disease control. Each question can be scored on a scale from 0 to 4 and the overall score ranges from 0 (no control) to 16 (maximum control). The cut-off value for disease control was established at 12. Participants with a score above 12 are considered controlled. A minimally important difference of 3 points was validated as reflective of a clinically relevant change of control.
