Differences between protocol and review

In the protocol, we stated that "adverse event" did not include MS relapses. In the review we included MS relapses in AEs as the original trials did. Whenever possible, however, we analysed data including and excluding MS relapses.

Incidence of serious AE was moved from secondary outcomes to primary outcomes.
