Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-55 with a diagnosis of primary progressive or relapsing multiple sclerosis who are current patients at the Rocky Mountain MS Center.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not currently active at the Rocky Mountain MS Center or those outside the specified age range may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of administering ocrelizumab infusions at home for patients with multiple sclerosis. It involves monitoring for infusion reactions and adverse events, comparing these rates to existing studies. Additionally, patient-reported outcomes will be assessed to evaluate changes before and after the infusion. The study aims to provide insights into the feasibility of home-based treatment for MS patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient convenience and comfort while maintaining treatment efficacy for multiple sclerosis.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored home infusion therapies, showing promising results, but this specific approach with ocrelizumab is relatively novel.
