A Dose Blinded Extension Study to the CBAF312A2201 Study to Evaluate Long-term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of BAF312 Given Orally Once Daily in Patients With Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis

This study consisted of a two year dose blinded phase during which patients received one of
five doses of siponimod (10, 2, 1.25, 0.5 or 0.25mg) following which patients were switched
to open label treatment with siponimod 2mg for approximately a further 3 years. It will
provide data on long term safety, tolerability and efficacy of siponimod in the RRMS patient
population

This study was prematurely discontinued after approximately 5 years. The decision to
prematurely discontinue the study was not taken due to safety-related concerns, rather due to
a decision to focus the development of siponimod in MS on a different population.
