Inclusion criteria

* Participant has diagnosis of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) or secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) with relapses within the past 24 months. * Participant has cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating lesion(s) consistent with multiple sclerosis (MS). * Participant has evidence of physical disability according to Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) or Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW) or 9-Hole Peg Test.

Exclusion criteria

\- Participants must not have experienced or be recovering from a clinical MS relapse within 6 months of Screening.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Overall Response Score (ORS) at Week 52Week 52The ORS is a composite score derived from 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in the dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in the non-dominant hand (9HPT-ND). Clinically significant worsening = -1, no change = 0, clinically significant improvement = +1. The ORS is the sum of these scores for the EDSS: Timed 25-Foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg Test-dominant, and 9-Hole Peg Test-nondominant and ranges from -4 to + 4.

Mean Overall Response Score (ORS) at Week 52

The ORS is a composite score derived from 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in the dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in the non-dominant hand (9HPT-ND). Clinically significant worsening = -1, no change = 0, clinically significant improvement = +1. The ORS is the sum of these scores for the EDSS: Timed 25-Foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg Test-dominant, and 9-Hole Peg Test-nondominant and ranges from -4 to + 4.

Time frame: Week 52

Population: The Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Analysis Set consists of all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Subjects were grouped according to treatment as randomized.
