Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with RMS or PPMS who are switching from another anti-CD20 therapy and meet EDSS 0-6.5 criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants who do not respond to SC ocrelizumab or cannot tolerate the injection or have disease characteristics unlikely to improve may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Participants with relapsing or primary progressive MS who are transitioning from another anti-CD20 therapy will receive subcutaneous ocrelizumab with recombinant human hyaluronidase. The trial will look at imaging biomarkers, patient outcomes, safety, tolerability, and treatment satisfaction. It is a Phase 4 interventional study conducted at multiple sites in the United States. Eligible participants must have an EDSS of 0-6.5 and have previously received an anti-CD20 therapy such as ofatumumab SC, ublituximab-xiiy IV, or ocrelizumab IV.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved convenience and satisfaction with SC administration and potential changes in disease-related outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies using anti-CD20 therapies via various routes have shown benefit; this study explores a SC formulation with rHuPH20 in switches, a relatively novel approach.
