A clinical study to compare the safety and efficacy of a new drug called Fenebrutinib with that of the standard drug Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus®) in adult patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS).
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
In this study, the effects – both good and bad – of Fenebrutinib compared to Ocrelizumab (Ocrevus®) in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis are compared. Each participant has a 50% chance of receiving either Fenebrutinib (and a placebo corresponding to Ocrelizumab) or Ocrelizumab (and a placebo corresponding to Fenebrutinib); participants are randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to two groups. The placebo looks exactly like the corresponding drug but contains no active ingredient. Fenebrutinib is an experimental drug (investigational drug); this means it has not yet been approved by health authorities for the treatment of PPMS. Ocrevus® is approved for the treatment of PPMS. The study will last approximately 7 years; a total of 946 people in several countries will participate.

Intervento studiato
The study includes five sections:
1. Screening (entry examination to determine if the participant meets the eligibility criteria)
2. Double-blind treatment (DBT)
3. Safety follow-up after the double-blind treatment (follow-up examinations after the double-blind treatment has been completed or discontinued or if you do not wish to participate in the open-label treatment) (DBT-SFU)
4. Open-label treatment (OLE)
5. Safety follow-up after the open-label treatment (follow-up examinations after the open-label treatment has been completed)
You will be assigned to one of the two treatment groups described below (a Fenebrutinib treatment group and an Ocrelizumab treatment group). Fenebrutinib will be administered in the form of 2 tablets twice daily (4 tablets total), and in the Ocrelizumab treatment group, 2 placebo tablets without active ingredient will also be given twice daily (4 tablets total). Ocrelizumab will be administered as an intravenous infusion every 24 weeks, and in the Fenebrutinib treatment group, a placebo infusion without active ingredient will be given every 24 weeks.
Neither you nor the study team will know which treatment group you are in during the first treatment phase of the study (the double-blind treatment phase). The treatment group you are assigned to will be determined randomly (like flipping a coin). The probability of being in Group A or Group B is equal.
· Participants in Group A take 4 Fenebrutinib tablets daily and receive a placebo infusion corresponding to Ocrelizumab every 24 weeks.
· Participants in Group B receive an Ocrelizumab infusion every 24 weeks and take 4 placebo tablets corresponding to Fenebrutinib daily.
Neither you nor your study doctor will know which group you are in. However, if your safety is at risk, the study doctor may find out which group you are in.
In the double-blind treatment phase (DBT), Fenebrutinib or Ocrelizumab will be administered for at least 120 weeks. In the first 24 weeks, participants will visit the study doctor approximately every 6 weeks, then approximately every 12 weeks for the remainder of the 120 weeks. During these visits, they will be assessed for side effects and their response to treatment will be evaluated.
For participants who do not wish to continue with the open-label treatment phase or who wish to discontinue treatment during the double-blind treatment phase, safety follow-up examinations will be conducted every 3 months for approximately 48 weeks after treatment ends. This section is called safety follow-up after the double-blind treatment (DBT-SFU).
After the first treatment phase of the study, participants will have the option to participate in an open-label extension of treatment (OLE); they will be treated with Fenebrutinib (2 tablets twice daily) for 96 weeks. This section of the study is not blinded (Open-Label); this means that participants and the study doctor know that the participant is being treated with Fenebrutinib.
Participants who were treated with Ocrelizumab during the blinded phase may start the OLE phase no sooner than 24 weeks after their last Ocrelizumab infusion (so that the study doctors can be sure they are measuring only the effect of Fenebrutinib during the OLE phase).
Even in the OLE phase, participants will regularly visit the doctor and be assessed for how well they respond to treatment and whether they have side effects. (Participants who have already taken Fenebrutinib during the blinded phase will visit approximately every 12 weeks; those who were treated with Ocrelizumab during the blinded phase will visit approximately every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks and then every 12 weeks for the rest of the OLE phase.)
Participants who prematurely discontinue or complete the OLE phase will transition to the safety follow-up phase after the open-label treatment (OLE-SFU). Here, patient safety will be monitored for approximately 8 weeks. In the OLE-SFU phase, only safety assessments will be conducted. Laboratory and other safety assessments in the OLE-SFU phase will be performed at clinical visits approximately every 4 weeks.
