Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Annualized Relapse Rate in the Year Prior to Treatment Initiation With Cladribine Tablets1 Year prior to date of Cladribine tablet initiation

The annualized relapse rate for a participant is defined here as the number of clinician's confirmed relapses that occurred in the year prior to the date of Cladribine tablet initiation.

Annualized Relapse Rate in the Year One After Treatment Initiation With Cladribine TabletsYear 1 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

The annualized relapse rate for a participant is defined here as the number of clinician's confirmed relapses that occurred in Year 1 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets.

Annualized Relapse Rate in the Year 2 After Treatment Initiation With Cladribine TabletsYear 2 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

The annualized relapse rate for a participant is defined here as the number of clinician's confirmed relapses that occurred in Years 2 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets.

Annualized Relapse Rate in the Year 3 After Treatment Initiation With Cladribine TabletsYear 3 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

The annualized relapse rate for a participant is defined here as the number of clinician's confirmed relapses that occurred in Year 3 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets.

Annualized Relapse Rate in the Year 4 After Treatment Initiation With Cladribine TabletsYear 4 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

The annualized relapse rate for a participant is defined here as the number of clinician's confirmed relapses that occurred in Years 4 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets.

Annualized Relapse Rate in the Year 5 After Treatment Initiation With Cladribine TabletsYear 5 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

The annualized relapse rate for a participant is defined here as the number of clinician's confirmed relapses that occurred in Year 5 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Relapse-Free Rate in Each Year After Initiation of Cladribine Tablet TreatmentYear 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets until relapse or death

Relapse-free is defined as the time from the on-treatment period start date until first relapse or death as assessed by the investigator. Relapse-free rate, i.e., the survival rate using Kaplan Meier method, was summarized every year.

Number of Participants Who Received Subsequent Disease-modifying Therapies (DMTs) After Cladribine Tablets Discontinuation/Treatment CompletionFrom Cladribine treatment initiation up to end of Cladribine treatment (assessed up end of Treatment Year 2)

The number of participants who received Subsequent Disease-modifying Therapies (DMTs) after Cladribine Tablets Discontinuation/Treatment Completion were reported here.

Time From Cladribine Tablet Initiation to First Relapseup to maximum 5 years after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

A qualifying relapse is defined as new, worsening or recurrent neurological symptoms attributed to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) that last for at least 24 hours without fever or infection, or adverse reaction to prescribed medication, preceded by a stable or improving neurological status of at least 30 days. Percentage of participants with qualified relapse-free status at week 24 were reported.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Cladribine TabletsFrom Cladribine treatment initiation up to end of Cladribine treatment (assessed up end of Treatment Year 2)

The number of participants who discontinued treatment with cladribine are reported here.

Number of Participants With Disability Progression Assessed by Expanded Disease Severity Scale (EDSS) at Treatment Initiation and Start of Treatment Year 2At Treatment Initiation and Start of Treatment Year 2

he EDSS is an ordinal clinical rating scale in half-point increments. It assesses the following eight functional systems, areas of the central nervous system that control bodily functions: Pyramidal (ability to walk), Cerebellar (coordination), Brain stem (speech and swallowing), Sensory (touch and pain), Bowel and bladder functions, Visual, Mental, Other (includes any other neurological findings due to Multiple Sclerosis \[MS\]). EDSS overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS).

Number of Participants With Disability Progression Confirmed Over 6 Months, Assessed by Expanded Disease Severity Scale (EDSS) at 2 Years After Cladribine Tablet Treatment InitiationAt 2 years after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

he EDSS is an ordinal clinical rating scale in half-point increments. It assesses the following eight functional systems, areas of the central nervous system that control bodily functions: Pyramidal (ability to walk), Cerebellar (coordination), Brain stem (speech and swallowing), Sensory (touch and pain), Bowel and bladder functions, Visual, Mental, Other (includes any other neurological findings due to Multiple Sclerosis \[MS\]). EDSS overall score ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS).

Number of Participants With Grade 3 Lymphopenia, Grade 4 Lymphopenia, Herpes Infections, Serious Infections, Opportunistic Infections and MalignanciesAt 2 years after treatment initiation with Cladribine tablets

Number of Participants with Grade 3 Lymphopenia, Grade 4 Lymphopenia, Herpes Infections, Serious Infections, Opportunistic Infections and Malignancies were reported.
