Investigating the effects of ocrelizumab on neurofilament levels and patient satisfaction in multiple sclerosis

SurfSubQ - A Prospective Longitudinal Multicenter Observational Study to Investigate Neurofilament Light Chain Levels and Patient Satisfaction After Subcutaneous Ocrelizumab Administration in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis

Observational Hoffmann-La Roche · NCT06780150

This study is testing how the medication ocrelizumab affects certain markers in the blood and how satisfied people with multiple sclerosis feel about their treatment after a year.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effects of ocrelizumab treatment on neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels and participant satisfaction after 12 months of therapy. Participants diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, including relapsing and primary progressive forms, will be assessed using a therapy administration satisfaction questionnaire. The study focuses on individuals receiving their first treatment with ocrelizumab subcutaneously, following local prescribing guidelines. By monitoring these outcomes, the study seeks to provide insights into the treatment's impact on both biological markers and patient experience.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis who are starting their first treatment with ocrelizumab.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously received treatment with rituximab or ublituximab, or those participating in other interventional studies, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of how ocrelizumab affects both neurobiological markers and patient satisfaction, potentially improving treatment approaches for multiple sclerosis.

How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on a specific treatment and patient satisfaction, similar studies have shown promising results in evaluating treatment effects in multiple sclerosis.
