A Study of Ocrelizumab in Participants With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) Who Have Had a Suboptimal Response to an Adequate Course of Disease-Modifying Treatment (DMT)
Study Phase: Phase 3
Recruitment Status: Recruiting
Start Date: February 11, 2016
End Date: December 30, 2019
Reference Study ID Number
888-662-6728 (U.S. and Canada)
888-662-6728 (U.S. and Canada)
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (specifically RRMS), in accordance with the revised 2010 McDonald criteria
- Disease duration from first symptom of less than or equal to (
- Treated with an adequate course of treatment with no more than three prior DMT regimens of greater than or equal to (>/=) 6 months, and the discontinuation of the most recent adequately used DMT was due to suboptimal response
- Suboptimal response while the participant was on his/her last adequately used DMT for >/=6 months (defined by having one of the following qualifying events despite being on a stable dose of the same DMT for at least 6 months: one or more clinically reported relapses, one or more T1 Gd-enhanced lesions, or two or more new or enlarging T2 lesions on MRI); these qualifying events must have occurred while on the last adequately used DMT. In participants receiving stable doses of the same approved DMT for more than a year, the event must have occurred within the last 12 months of treatment with this DMT from the date of screening
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis (PRMS), or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS)
- Contraindications for MRI
- Known presence of other neurological disorders that may mimic multiple sclerosis
- Pregnancy or lactation, or intention to become pregnant during the study
- Requirement for chronic treatment with systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants during the course of the study
- History of or currently active primary or secondary immunodeficiency
- Lack of peripheral venous access
- History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to humanized or murine monoclonal antibodies
- Active infection, or history of or known presence of recurrent or chronic infection such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, or tuberculosis
- History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
- Contraindications to or intolerance of oral or IV corticosteroids
- Previous treatment with fingolimod (Gilenya®) or dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera®) in participants whose lymphocyte count is below the lower limit of normal (LLN)
- Treatment with alemtuzumab (Lemtrada®)
- Previous treatment with systemic cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, or methotrexate
- Previous treatment with natalizumab within 12 months prior to screening unless failure was due to confirmed, persistent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). Participants previously treated with natalizumab will be eligible for this study only if duration of treatment with natalizumab was less than (<) 1 year and natalizumab was not used in the 12 months prior to screening. Anti-John Cunningham virus (JCV) antibody status (positive or negative) and titer (both assessed within the year of screening) must be documented prior to enrollment
- Treatment with dalfampridine (Ampyra®) unless on stable dose for >/=30 days prior to screening
- Treatment with a B-cell targeted therapies (e.g., rituximab, ocrelizumab, atacicept, belimumab, or ofatumumab)
- Treatment with a drug that is experimental (Exception: treatment with an experimental drug that was subsequently approved in the participant's country is allowed)
