Title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PEGylated Interferon Beta-1a (BIIB017) in Subjects With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of peginterferon beta-1a in reducing the annualized relapse rate (ARR) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) at 1 year. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine whether peginterferon beta-1a, at 1 year when compared with placebo, is effective in reducing the total number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, reducing the proportion of participants who relapse, and slowing the progression of disability.


Options:
A: Core Study

Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of relapsing multiple Sclerosis (MS)
* Patients with at least two documented relapses in the previous 2 years or one documented relapse in the last year
* Patients with an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0-6

Extension Study

* A positive Gd-enhanced MRI scan at screening (in case the first MRI scan obtained at screening was negative, a second scan could have been obtained 1 month later)
* Neurologically stable with no evidence of relapse within 30 days prior to randomization,or during the Screening and Baseline periods.
* Female patients either post-menopausal, surgically incapable of bearing children, or practicing an acceptable method of birth control. Females of childbearing potential with a negative pregnancy test at baseline prior to entry into the treatment period.

Exclusion Criteria:

Core Study

* Patients with other chronic disease of the immune system, malignancies, pulmonary or heart disease, etc
* Pregnant or nursing women

Extension Study

* Patients who had permanently discontinued study drug prior to the Month 6 visit of the core study
* Patients with diabetes mellitus (to reduce the risk of ME), and therefore ongoing patients with diabetes mellitus or who developed diabetes mellitus were discontinued from the study)

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Relapsing form of MS meeting McDonald's criteria for MS diagnosis and Expanded Disability Status Scale \[EDSS\] score ≤5.5 at screening visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Significantly impaired bone marrow function or, significant anemia, leukopenia or thrombocytopenia;
* Persistent significant or severe infection.
* Liver function impairment or known history of hepatitis.
* Use of adrenocorticotrophic hormone \[ACTH\] or systemic corticosteroids for 2 weeks prior to randomization.
* Human immunodeficiency virus \[HIV\] positive.
* Prior use of Rebif®, or prior or concomitant use of other interferons in the 3 months prior to randomization.
* Prior or concomitant use of cladribine, mitoxantrone, or other immunosuppressant agents such as azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporin, methotrexate, mycophenolate, or natalizumab.
* Pregnant or breast-feeding woman.

Extension criteria:

The participants who met all the following criteria at the end of the core study period were eligible for enrolment into the open-label extension phase:

* Participants who had not discontinued treatment in the core period and who had a minimum treatment of 48 weeks and completed the EOT visit (Visit 18).
* Participants who had not met criteria for treatment withdrawal.
* An informed consent must be obtained in writing from the participant for this open-label extension phase prior to entering and prior to completion of any extension phase procedure.
* Participants who demonstrated a willingness and ability to roll over to the extension phase with the opportunity to continue treatment on 14 mg/day of teriflunomide under open-label.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Signed informed consent form (ICF)
* Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female participants, 18 to 50 years of age (inclusive) as of signing the ICF
* Diagnosis of MS per McDonald's update of the Poser criteria, including cranial MRI consistent with those criteria (McDonald, 2001, Ann Neurol)
* Onset of first MS symptoms within 3 years prior to Screening as of signing the ICF
* Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 0.0 to 3.0 (inclusive) at the screening and Baseline visits
* At least 2 completed clinical episodes of MS in the 2 years prior to study entry (that is, the initial event if within 2 years of study entry plus at least 1 relapse, or at least 2 relapses if the initial event was between 2 and 3 years prior to study entry)
* In addition to the clinical criteria, at least 1 enhancing lesion on any 1 of up to 4 screening gadolinium-enhanced MRI brain scans during a maximum 3-month run-in period (inclusive of the Month 0 Baseline scan)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous immunotherapy for MS other than steroids, including treatment with interferons, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), glatiramer acetate, and mitoxantrone
* Personal history of thyroid autoimmune disease
* Personal history of clinically significant autoimmune disease (for example, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, lupus, severe asthma)
* History of thyroid carcinoma (previous thyroid adenoma was acceptable and was not considered an exclusion criterion)
* History of malignancy (except for basal cell skin carcinoma if disease-free for at least 5 years)
* Any disability acquired from trauma or another illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, interfered with evaluation of disability due to MS
* Previous treatment with alemtuzumab
* History of anaphylaxis following exposure to humanized monoclonal antibodies
* Inability to undergo MRI with gadolinium administration
* Female participants of childbearing potential with a positive serum pregnancy test at screening or Baseline
