A MULTICENTER, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND DOUBLE-DUMMY PHASE III STUDY TO ASSESS THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF OCRELIZUMAB COMPARED TO FINGOLIMOD IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH RELAPSING-REMITTING MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Zusammenfassung der Studie
The aim of this study is to compare the good or bad effects of the investigational drug Ocrelizumab with Fingolimod. Fingolimod is a medication used to treat patients with RRMS aged 10 years and older. Ocrelizumab is an investigational medication for children and adolescents. Currently, Ocrelizumab can be prescribed for the treatment of RRMS in adults. Fingolimod can be prescribed for patients with RRMS aged 10 years and older. Approximately 171 children and adolescents with RRMS (aged 10–17 years) will participate in this study worldwide. This study consists of the following study sections: a screening section, a blinded section (Part 1, treatment group not known to study participants or investigator), an optional open section (Part 2), and a safety follow-up section. The total duration of study participation is at least 6 months and up to four and a half years or longer, depending on how long it takes for the last study participant to complete the blinded treatment, whether the study participant continues in the open treatment section, and when the study participant is included in the safety follow-up.

Untersuchte Intervention
The study participant will be randomly assigned in Part 1 of the study to either Group A or Group B for the blinded treatment. The group will be determined randomly (like flipping a coin). The probability of being assigned to each group is one to one. Blinded means that neither the study participant nor their parents/caregivers nor the investigator can choose or know the group they are assigned to.
o Group A receives Ocrelizumab, administered as an infusion every 6 months. The first dose is given as two infusions of half the dose of Ocrelizumab on Day 1 and Day 15. Subsequent doses are given as one infusion of Ocrelizumab every 6 months.
o Group B receives Fingolimod, a capsule to be taken once daily at home. On the first day of treatment, the capsule is taken in the clinic.
Regardless of which group the study participant is in, they also receive a placebo that looks like the other medication but contains no active ingredient. This means that the study participant receives both an infusion every 6 months and a capsule for daily intake.
During the open treatment in the optional open section (Part 2), the study participant receives only Ocrelizumab.
