clipboard-pencil

About the study

The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of evobrutinib administered orally twice daily versus Teriflunomide (Aubagio®), administered orally once daily in participants with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS). Participants who complete the double-blind treatment period (DBTP) and double-blind extension period (DBEP) prior to approval of a separate long-term follow-up study in their country will get an option for evobrutinib treatment continuation through a 96-week open-label extension (OLE) period.
