Study to assess Ofatumumab in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis
Zusammenfassung der Studie
This is an international study. Approximately 550 patients worldwide will participate in this study. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of treatment with Ofatumumab in patients switching from their current multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment (dimethyl fumarate, also known as DMF, or fingolimod) to Ofatumumab. Additionally, the study will investigate the utility of biomarkers and digital tools in assessing and treating people with MS. The study is divided into three parts: a pre-screening phase, a treatment phase, and either a safety follow-up or the extension study. After the pre-screening phase of up to 60 days, the study treatment will last approximately 96 weeks for eligible patients. All eligible participants in this study will be treated with a subcutaneous injection using an autoinjector (pen) containing 20 mg/0.4 ml of Ofatumumab. At the beginning of treatment, patients, or a relative at their request, will be trained to perform the injection independently at home later on. Patients who complete the treatment phase may be eligible to participate in the extension study, where they can be treated for up to 5 years. If they do not participate in the extension study, they will enter the safety follow-up phase, which may last up to 9 months.
