aA complete definition of endpoints is provided in Table 1

bBased on seven on-treatment assessments per participant in the modified intention-to-treat sample. The level of missing post-baseline MSWS-12 data was generally similar between treatment groups except for missing data due to discontinuations (PR-fampridine, 5%; placebo, 9%)

cPercentage based on binomial proportions

dCalculated using an adjusted logistic regression model (missing data imputed using multiple imputation)

eBased on a mixed-effects model for repeated measures using a common variance/covariance matrix structure
