Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Part 1 1. Must have a diagnosis of RRMS as defined by the revised consensus definition for pediatric MS [Krupp 2013; Polman 2011]. 2. Must have an EDSS score between 0.0 and 5.5. 3. Must have experienced =1 relapse in the 12 months prior to randomization (Day 1) or =2 relapses in the 24 months prior to randomization (Day 1) or have evidence of asymptomatic disease activity (Gd-enhancing lesions) on brain MRI in the 6 months prior to randomization (Day 1). Part 2 Subjects who completed the study treatment in Part 1 (Week 96 Visit), as per protocol. Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 142 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: PART 1 1. Primary progressive, secondary progressive, or progressive relapsing MS .These conditions require the presence of continuous clinical disease worsening over a period of at least 3 months. Subjects with these conditions may also have superimposed relapses but are distinguished from relapsing subjects by the lack of clinically stable periods or clinical improvement. 2. Occurrence of an MS relapse that has occurred within 30 days prior to randomization (Day 1) and/or the subject has not stabilized from a previous relapse prior to randomization (Day 1). 3. History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions or known drug hypersensitivity. 4. Known allergy to any component of Avonex or BIIB017 formulation. 5. Any previous treatment with PEGylated human IFN ß-1a. PART 2 1. Any significant changes in medical history occurring after enrollment in Part 1, including laboratory test abnormalities or current clinically significant conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would have excluded the subject's participation in Part 1. The Investigator must re-assess the subject's medical fitness for participation and consider any factors that would preclude treatment. 2. The subject could not tolerate BIIB017 in Part 1. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and descriptive efficacy of BIIB017 in pediatric participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB017 in pediatric participants with RRMS in Part 1. In Part 2, the study will evaluate the long-term safety of BIIB017 and further describe safety and the long-term multiple sclerosis (MS) outcomes after BIIB017 treatment in participants who completed the study treatment at Week 96 in Part 1 of the study. ;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): #1: Part 1: the annualized relapse rate (ARR) at Week 48. #2: Part 2: Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and AEs leading to Study Treatment Discontinuation. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: #1: week 48 #2: Week 96 to Week 196

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
