Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Remibrutinib
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Remibrutinib 100 mg bid - Remibrutinib 100 mg twice daily (bid)

Experimental: Remibrutinib 100 mg qd - Remibrutinib 100 mg once daily (qd)

Placebo comparator: Placebo - Placebo group


Treatment: Drugs: Remibrutinib
Remibrutinib 100 mg was administered orally as two 50 mg hard gelatin capsules. Patients in the remibrutinib 100 mg bid dose group took 2 capsules of active medication in the morning and 2 capsules of active medication in the evening. Patients in the remibrutinib 100 mg qd dose group took 2 capsules of active medication in the morning and 2 capsules of the placebo in the evening.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Placebo was administered orally as two hard gelatin capsules. Patients in the placebo dose group took 2 capsules of placebo in the morning and 2 capsules of placebo in the evening.
