About this study
In plain language
This study compares ozanimod with fingolimod in children and teens with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), where attacks are followed by periods of recovery. It checks how well the drugs work, their safety and side effects, and their levels and effects in the body.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, tolerability, drug levels and drug effects of ozanimod compared to fingolimod in children and adolescents with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have relapsing-remitting MS diagnosed using the 2017 McDonald rules for diagnosing MS.
- Have at least 1 MS attack in the past year, at least 2 attacks in the past 2 years, or at least 1 spot of active inflammation seen with contrast dye on an MRI scan within 6 months before the study starts.
- Have a score from 0 to 5.5 on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which measures disability from MS.
Who can't join
- Have a progressive form of MS, where the disease steadily gets worse.
- Have an active or long-term immune system disease other than MS.
- Have a significant heart or blood vessel disease, liver disease, nervous system disease, or other major disease.

Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Has a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) as defined by the 2017 revision of the McDonald Criteria with a relapsing remitting course of disease. * Meets at least 1 of the following criteria for disease activity: i) At least 1 MS relapse/attack in the previous year prior to screening. ii) At least 2 MS relapses/attacks in the previous 2 years prior to screening. iii) Evidence of 1 or more gadolinium-enhancing (GdE) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 6 months prior to baseline (including screening MRI). \- Has an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0 to 5.5, both inclusive. Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of progressive forms of MS. * Active or chronic disease of the immune system other than MS. * Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological other major systematic disease. * Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.
