Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: Primary objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of Siponimod (BAF312) relative to placebo in delaying the time to 3-month confirmed disability progression in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) as measured by expanded disability status scale (EDSS)

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline, every three months

Primary end point(s): The delay in time to 3-month confirmed disability progression by Siponimod (BAF312) relative to placebo as measured by expanded disability status scale (EDSS)

Confirmed disability is defined as an increase of score of 1 point in patients with baseline score of 3.0-5.0 and 0.5 point increase with baseline score of 5.5 to 6.5.

Secondary Objective: First key secondary objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of Siponimod relative to placebo in delaying the time to 3-month confirmed worsening of at least 20% from Baseline in the timed 25-foot walk test (T25W)
Second key secondary objective: To demonstrate the efficacy of Siponimod relative to placebo in reducing the increase in T2 lesion volume from Baseline to the end of the study

For further secondary objectives please see protocol

Secondary Outcome(s)

Secondary end point(s): The first key secondary endpoint is the delay in time to 3-month confirmed worsening of at least 20% from Baseline in the timed 25-foot walk test (T25W) by Siponimod (BAF312) compared to placebo.

The second key secondary endpoint is the efficacy of Siponimod (BAF312) relative to placebo in reducing the increase in T2 lesion volume from Baseline to the end of the study.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.) baseline, every three months
2.) baseline, every year
