Abbreviations: CDW = confirmed disability worsening; EDSS = Expanded Disability Status Scale; sGFAP = serum glial fibrillary acidic protein; sNfL = serum neurofilament light chain.
Data shown as hazard ratio [95% CI]; p value.
Pretreatment and posttreatment stop biomarker levels were log transformed.
Percent change was calculated from nontransformed levels: reported hazard ratios represent a doubling or 100% increase.
Adjusted for covariates: age, disease duration, EDSS, duration from last attack (at treatment stop date), and batch effect.
