    Disability progression was defined as an increase of ≥ 1.0 point from the baseline Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score that was not attributable to another etiology (e.g., fever, concurrent illness, or concomitant medication) when the baseline score was 5.5 or less, & ≥ 0.5 when the baseline score was above 5.5. For participants with an EDSS of 0, progression is defined as a change ≥1.5 points. Disability progression was considered confirmed when increase in EDSS was confirmed at a regularly scheduled visit at least 24 weeks after initial documentation of neurological worsening.

  27. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: From CASTING Baseline to LIBERTO SFU (up to 4.9 years); From ENSEMBLE Baseline to LIBERTO SFU (up to 6.9 years)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. 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 product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
