Annualized relapse rates (ARRs) in patient subgroups defined by demographic factors, treatment history, and disease characteristics at baseline (intent-to-treat population).
ARRs and ARR ratios for fingolimod 0.5 mg versus comparators were estimated using a negative binomial regression model adjusted for study. aARR was estimated using a negative binomial model with study as a factor. bTreatment-naïve patients were defined as those not receiving any drugs for the treatment of MS, according to MS history case-report forms. cARR was estimated using a negative binomial model, with study, treatment, subgroup, and treatment-by-subgroup as factors.
