| DBT Phase: New Gadolinium (Gd) - Enhancing T1 Lesion Rate Observed on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans of the Brain Over 12 Weeks | MRI scans performed at Weeks 4, 8 and 12 | Radiologic evaluation for Gd enhancing T1 lesion rate was performed using a standardized MRI protocol at screening, and at Weeks 4, 8, and 12. All MRI scans were read by a centralized reading center for efficacy endpoints. The total number of new Gd-enhancing T1 lesions were calculated as the sum of the individual number of new lesions observed at Weeks 4, 8 and 12. The lesion rate (new lesions per scan) was estimated from a negative binomial regression model for the total number of events and was adjusted for the covariate 'presence or absence of T1 Gd+ lesions on the screening MRI'. Log-transformed number of scans were included in the negative binomial model as an "offset" variable to account for different number of scans. |

All MRI scans were read by a centralized reading center for efficacy endpoints. Total number of new or enlarging T2-weighted lesions were calculated as the sum of the individual number of new or enlarging lesions at Weeks 4, 8, and 12. The lesion rate (new/enlarging lesions per scan) was estimated from a negative binomial regression model for the total number of events and was adjusted for the covariate 'presence or absence of T1 Gd+ lesions on the screening MRI'.

All MRI scans were read by a centralized reading center for efficacy endpoints. The total number of new Gd-enhancing T1 lesions and new or enlarging T2 - weighted lesions were calculated as the sum of the individual number of lesions observed at Weeks 4, 8 and 12. Analysis was performed using a logistic regression model performed on the status of both new T1 Gd+ lesion and new or enlarging T2-weighted lesions post-baseline (present or not) adjusted for the stratification factor(s) presence or absence of T1 Gd+ lesions on the screening MRI. |

An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect. |

Structured interview prompts recollection of suicidal ideation, including intensity of ideation, behavior, \& attempts with actual/potential lethality. Categories have binary responses (yes/no) \& include Wish to be Dead; Non-specific Active Suicidal Thoughts; Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act; Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan; Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent, Preparatory Acts and Behavior; Aborted Attempt; Interrupted Attempt; Actual Attempt (non-fatal); Completed Suicide.
