Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to any assessment performed. • Male or female participants aged 18 to 65 years (inclusive) at Screening. • Diagnosis of SPMS according to the 2017 revised McDonald criteria (Thompson et al 2018) at Screening. • Absence of documented clinical relapses in the 24 months before Screening and randomization. • EDSS score of 3.0 to 6.0 (inclusive) at Screening. • Documented evidence of disability progression in the 12 months before Screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Unwilling or unable to undergo MRI scans as per protocol (for example, claustrophobia, or presents absolute contraindications to MRI (e.g., metallic implants, metallic foreign bodies, pacemaker, defibrillator)). • History of clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) disease (e.g. stroke, traumatic brain or spinal injury, history or presence of myelopathy) or neurological disorders which may mimic multiple sclerosis (MS). • Ongoing substance abuse (drug or alcohol) or any other factor (e.g. serious psychiatric condition) that may interfere with the participant ability to cooperate and comply with the study procedures. • Participants with history of confirmed Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) or neurological symptoms consistent with PML. • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant from menarche until becoming post-menopausal, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception (failure rate less than 1 percent per year) while taking study treatment and for at least 1 week after stopping study treatment. • Significant bleeding risk or coagulation disorders, at Screening. • Use of exclusionary medication prior to Screening/randomization as listed in the protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To demonstrate efficacy of remibrutinib compared to placebo in delaying disability progression based on EDSSTimepoint: Time to 6-month confirmed disability progression (6mCDP)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess whether remibrutinib is superior to placebo in: - Delaying disability progression based on EDSS - Other clinical and MRI measuresTimepoint: - Time to 3-month confirmed disability progression (3mCDP) on EDSS - Time to 6-month confirmed disability improvement (6mCDI) on EDSS - Time to 3-month worsening by at least 20 percent in Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW) - Time to 3-month worsening by at least 20 percent in 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT) - Annualized rate of new or enlarging T2 lesions - Percentage of participants with annualized rate of brain atrophy greater than 0.45 percent - Time to 6-month worsening by at least 4 points in Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT);To assess the safety and tolerability of remibrutinibTimepoint: Adverse events, laboratory data, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) from Baseline till End of Study
