E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

Demonstrate that ofatumumab 20 mg sc once every 4 (q4) weeks is superior to teriflunomide 14 mg po once daily in reducing the frequency of confirmed relapses as evaluated by the annualized relapse rate (ARR) in patients with relapsing MS.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

Key secondary objectives

To evaluate if ofatumumab is superior to teriflunomide on:
1. Time to disability worsening as measured by 3-month confirmed worsening (3mCDW) on EDSS
2. Number of T1 GdE lesions per MRI scan
3. Number of new or enlarging T2 lesions on MRI per year (annualized T2 lesion rate)
4. Time to disability worsening as measured by 6-month confirmed worsening (6mCDW) on EDSS
5. Rate of brain volume loss (BVL) based on assessments of percentage brain volume change from baseline
6. Time to disability improvement, as measured by 6-month confirmed improvement (6mCDI) on EDSS
