| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse events (AEs) | 1 year | Incidence of adverse events |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First relapse | 1 year | Time to first relapse |
| Relapse free | 1 year | Proportion of patients who are relapse free |
| Annualized relapse rate | 1 year | Number of relapses per patient-year |
| Disability progression | 1 year | Proportion of patients free of disability progression |
| Drug compliance | 1 year | Percentage of patients who are treatment compliant assessed using patient diary |
| Neurological impairment/disability | Baseline to 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year | Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) will be used to compare disability from baseline. The EDSS ranges from 0 to 10 in 0.5 unit increments that represent higher levels of disability. |
