TERIKIDS study design.
aEntry to OLE any time after initial PK run-in; a new run-in
period (8 weeks) starts after entry to extension.
bCriteria for high MRI activity to qualify for switch to the
OLE treatment were ⩾9 new/enlarged T2 lesions at Week 36 or ⩾5
new/enlarged T2 lesions on each of two consecutive MRI scans at Weeks 36
and 48, or at Weeks 48 and 72.
cDetermined by body weight category: patients who weighed
20–40 kg received 3.5 mg/day; patients >40 kg received 7 mg/day.
dDetermined by a combination of body weight category and
individually predicted PK parameters based on data collected during the
run-in period: patients who weighed 20–40 kg received 7 mg/day if
predicted PK parameters were equal to or less than the adult range of
predicted parameters for a repeated dose of 7 mg, or received 3.5 mg/day
if PK parameters were higher than the adult range; patients > 40 kg
received 14 mg/day if PK parameters were equal to or less than the adult
range of predicted parameters, or received 7 mg/day if PK parameters
were higher than the adult range.
EDSS = Expanded Disability Status Scale; MRI = magnetic resonance
imaging; OLE = open-label extension; PK = pharmacokinetic; pNfL = plasma
neurofilament light chain; R = randomization.
