  2. Participants with one or more documented relapses within the 2 years before Screening with either: a. one relapse which occurred within the last year prior to randomization, OR b. the presence of at least 1 gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) T1 lesion within 6 months prior to randomization
  3. Participants have Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0 to 5.5 at Screening and Baseline (Day 1). Participants with an EDSS score <= 2 at Screening and Baseline (Day 1) are only eligible for participation if their disease duration (time since onset of symptoms) is no more than 10 years
  4. Participants are neurologically stable for >= 30 days prior to both screening and baseline (Day 1)
  5. Female participants must be neither pregnant nor breast-feeding or must lack child-bearing potential (as defined by either: post-menopausal or surgically sterile), or use an effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and at least 2 years after study intervention due to the long elimination period for teriflunomide of 2 years, unless the participant undergoes an accelerated elimination procedure
  6. Male participants must refrain from donating sperm and/or abstain from intercourse with women of child-bearing potential or use an effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and at least 2 years after study intervention due to the long elimination period for teriflunomide of 2 years, unless the participant undergoes an accelerated elimination procedure
