About this trial

In the sponsor's words

This is a study evaluating the effect of fenebrutinib on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in participants with RMS. The safety and pharmacokinetics of fenebrutinib will also be evaluated. Participants will be randomized to receive either fenebrutinib or placebo. This study consists of two parts: Double-blind treatment (DBT) phase and an optional Open-label extension (OLE) phase.
