Study Summary

The primary objective was to demonstrate the effect of teriflunomide (HMR1726) (14 milligram per day \[mg/day\] and 7 mg/day), in comparison to placebo, for reducing conversion of participants presenting with their first clinical episode consistent with multiple sclerosis (MS) to clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS). The secondary objectives were: * To demonstrate the effect of teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, on: * Reducing conversion to definite multiple sclerosis (DMS) * Reducing annualized relapse rate (ARR) * Reducing disease activity/progression as measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) * Reducing accumulation of disability for at least 12 weeks as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) * Proportion of disability-free participants as assessed by the EDSS * Reducing participant-reported fatigue * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of teriflunomide * To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of teriflunomide * Optional pharmacogenomic testing aimed at assessing the association between the main enzyme systems of teriflunomide metabolism and hepatic safety, and other potential associations between gene variations and clinical outcomes

Primary Outcome

Conversion to CDMS was defined by the occurrence of a relapse, which was defined as a new neurological abnormality separated by at least 30 days from onset of a preceding clinical event, presented for at least 24 hours and occurred in the absence of fever or known infection. Percent probability of conversion at 24, 48, and 108 weeks was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.
