a

Percentage of participants with ≥1 event.

b

One participant from the tolebrutinib 60-mg arm experienced a serious AE, which was also determined to be severe; the AE was an MS relapse that was reported by an investigator due to hospitalisation for differential diagnosis.

c

Three participants had elevated alanine aminotransferase levels, 2 of whom (in the 30- and 60-mg arms) had levels >3 times the upper limit of normal.

AE=adverse event. MS=multiple sclerosis. See table S2 (Supplementary Appendix, page 27) for details about safety outcomes of tolebrutinib compared to placebo over weeks 1-4.
