Brief summary

Primary Objective: To determine the dose-response relationship for SAR442168 to reduce the number of new active brain lesions. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate efficacy of SAR442168 on disease activity as assessed by imaging measures. * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SAR442168.

Detailed description

The total study duration was 24 weeks which included a screening period of 4 weeks, a treatment period of 16 weeks, and a follow-up period of up to 4 weeks. Participants who completed the Week 16 visit were proposed to be enrolled in a long-term extension safety and efficacy study to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of SAR442168.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 44 active centers in 10 countries. A total of 168 participants were screened from 29-March-2019 to 29-August-2019, of which 38 participants were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to selection criteria not met.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 130 participants were randomized and treated in this study. Participants were centrally assigned to 1 of 8 arms (4 dose groups at an equal ratio to start with SAR442168 \[all considered as Cohort 1\] or placebo \[all considered as Cohort 2\]).

Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Assessment: Number of New Gadolinium (Gd) Enhancing T1-hyperintense Lesions

Number of new Gd-enhancing T1-hyperintense lesions was detected by brain MRI at the end of 12 weeks of SAR442168 treatment (i.e., at Week 12 for Cohort 1 participants and Week 16 for Cohort 2 participants). Data was planned to be collected and analyzed on pooled population of participants at each dose level of SAR442168 (either in Cohort 1 and 2) and pooled population of participants receiving placebo in Cohort 2 and was not planned to collected during placebo administration in Cohort 1 (Weeks 12 to 16).

Time frame: After 12 weeks of SAR442168 treatment for SAR442168 reporting arms (i.e., at Week 12 for Cohort 1 participants, at Week 16 for Cohort 2 participants) and at Week 4 for Cohort 2 placebo

Population: Analysis was performed on modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population that included all randomly assigned participants exposed to the study drug, analyzed according to the treatment assigned by randomization. Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' signifies number of participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs): Weeks 1-4 Period

Adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of study drug. Serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose resulted in death, life-threatening, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or medical event. TEAEs were defined as AEs (serious/non-serious) that developed, worsened, or became serious during on-treatment period (for this outcome measure- Weeks 1 to 4 period: time from 1st administration of study drug to Week 4). Cohorts 1 and 2 received SAR442168 and placebo for first 4 weeks, respectively.

Time frame: From Baseline up to Week 4

Population: Analysis was performed on safety population that included all participants from randomized population who had received at least 1 dose or part of dose of study drug. Data was planned to be collected and analyzed on participants at each dose level of SAR442168 in Cohort 1 and pooled population of participants receiving Placebo in Cohort 2 and not planned to be collected during Cohort 1 Placebo administration (Weeks 12 to 16).

Total Number of Gd-enhancing T1-hyperintense Lesions

Total number of Gd-enhancing T1-hyperintense lesions was detected by brain MRI at the end of 12 weeks of SAR442168 treatment (i.e., at Week 12 for Cohort 1 participants and Week 16 for Cohort 2 participants).

Time frame: After 12 weeks of SAR442168 treatment for SAR442168 reporting arms (i.e., at Week 12 for Cohort 1 participants, at Week 16 for Cohort 2 participants), and at Week 4 for Cohort 2 placebo

Population: Analysis was performed on mITT population. Data was planned to be collected and analyzed on pooled population of participants at each dose level of SAR442168 (either in Cohort 1 and 2) and pooled population of participants receiving placebo in Cohort 2 and was not planned to be collected during placebo administration in Cohort 1 (Weeks 12 to 16). Here, 'Overall number of participants analyzed' signifies number of participants evaluable for this outcome measure.
