Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Annualized confirmed relapse rate [ Time Frame: Up to 660 weeks (core plus extension) ]
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Only exploratory analyses will be performed.

  2. Time to first confirmed relapse [ Time Frame: Up to 660 weeks (core plus extension) ]
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Only exploratory analyses will be performed.

  3. Time to 24 Weeks Confirmed Disability Progression up to end of the study [ Time Frame: Up to 660 weeks (core plus extension) ]
    IMPORTANT NOTE: Only exploratory analyses will be performed. Disability progression is defined as an increase of at least one full point in the EDSS score (or 1.5 points if the baseline EDSS was 0, or 0.5 points if the baseline EDSS was equal or greater than 5.5) with or without relapse, confirmed at the next scheduled EDSS assessment at least 24 weeks later (or if missing, at the next available scheduled EDSS assessment). The time to event is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment until the first EDSS assessment meeting the criteria for disability progression.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. (Serious) Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to 660 weeks (core plus extension) ]
