A global Phase III study to investigate the safety and efficacy of a higher dose of the approved multiple sclerosis medication Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus®) in adult patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis.
Résumé de l'étude
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects (good or bad) of a higher dose of Ocrevus® compared to the approved dose of Ocrevus® in patients with relapsing MS. Treatment in this clinical study begins with a screening phase of up to 6 weeks, followed by Part 1. If Part 1 is successful, the study will continue with Part 2. Part 1: After screening, participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups: Group 1 receives the higher dose of Ocrevus® as an intravenous infusion every 24 weeks in at least 5 doses over a period of at least 120 weeks. Group 2 receives the approved dose of Ocrevus® as an intravenous infusion every 24 weeks in 5 doses over a period of at least 120 weeks. Assignment to one of the groups is done randomly (like a coin toss). Twice as many people are assigned to Group 1, meaning you have a 2 in 3 chance of receiving the higher Ocrevus® dose and a 1 in 3 chance of being assigned to Group 2 and receiving the approved dose. Neither the participant nor the investigator can choose the group or know which group the participant is in. However, the investigator can determine which group a participant is assigned to if their safety is at risk. If Part 1 shows that the higher dose of Ocrevus® is superior to the currently approved dose, you may be able to participate in the second part of the study. Part 2: Each participant receives a higher dose of Ocrevus® every 24 weeks, also as an intravenous infusion, totaling 4 doses over 96 weeks. This part of the study is referred to as "open-label," meaning that both doctors and participants know which participants are being treated. The total duration of the study from screening the first participant to the end of the study is expected to be approximately 7.5 years.

Intervention étudiée
MS affects the central nervous system, particularly the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the immune system (the body's defense system) malfunctions. It attacks the protective layer around nerve cells (the myelin sheath) and causes inflammation. The resulting degradation of the myelin sheath leads to nerves not functioning properly.
The symptoms of MS depend on which area of the central nervous system is affected and can include walking or balance problems, feelings of weakness, numbness, double vision and blurred vision, impaired coordination, and bladder issues. In relapsing MS, there are repeated episodes of symptoms (relapses). Symptoms can appear suddenly, within a few hours, or slowly over several days. Symptoms disappear or improve between relapses. However, damage can accumulate and lead to permanent disability.
Ocrevus® binds to specific B cells, a type of white blood cell that is part of the immune system and plays a role in MS. Ocrevus® specifically targets these B cells and removes them. This reduces inflammatory processes and attacks on the myelin sheath, making a relapse less likely and slowing the progression of your disease.
Ocrevus® has already been approved in many countries, including the USA and Europe, for use in patients with relapsing MS (RMS) and primary progressive MS (PPMS). This new study in patients with RMS focuses on whether a higher dose of Ocrevus® can slow the progression and worsening of your MS disease even more than the currently approved dose.
