Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, immunogenicity, and radiological and clinical effects of subcutaneous (SC) administration of ocrelizumab compared with the intravenous (IV) infusion of ocrelizumab in patients with either relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) or primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Drug: Ocrelizumab IV Drug: Ocrelizumab SC Drug: Methylprednisolone IV Drug: Diphenhydramine IV Drug: Dexamethasone given orally Drug: Desloratadine given orally Phase 3

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 236 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Study To Investigate The Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety And Radiological And Clinical Effects Of Subcutaneous Ocrelizumab Versus Intravenous Ocrelizumab In Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Actual Study Start Date : May 3, 2022
Estimated Primary Completion Date : April 1, 2025
Estimated Study Completion Date : April 1, 2025


Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Ocrelizumab: Intravenous (IV) formulation
Participants will receive the first dose of ocrelizumab IV as two IV infusions given 14 days apart. The subsequent doses of study drug will be administered as SC injections. A minimum of 22 weeks should be kept between SC doses. Participants will undergo 96 weeks of study treatment.
Drug: Ocrelizumab IV
IV Injection
Other Name: RO4964913

Drug: Methylprednisolone IV
Participants will receive mandatory (corticosteroids and antihistamine) and optional (analgesic) prophylactic treatment before the start of each ocrelizumab infusion

Drug: Diphenhydramine IV
Participants will receive mandatory (corticosteroids and antihistamine) and optional (analgesic) prophylactic treatment before the start of each ocrelizumab infusion

Experimental: Ocrelizumab: Subcutaneous (SC) formulation
Participants will receive the first dose of ocrelizumab SC as one SC injection at a dose which is expected to result in non-inferior exposure to ocrelizumab IV. The subsequent doses of study drug will be administered as SC injections. A minimum of 22 weeks should be kept between the first and second SC doses, and between subsequent SC doses. Participants will undergo 96 weeks of study treatment.
Drug: Ocrelizumab SC
SC Injection
Other Name: RO4964913

Drug: Dexamethasone given orally
Participants will receive mandatory (corticosteroids and antihistamine) and optional (analgesic) prophylactic treatment before the start of each ocrelizumab injection

Drug: Desloratadine given orally
Participants will receive mandatory (corticosteroids and antihistamine) and optional (analgesic) prophylactic treatment before the start of each ocrelizumab injection




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Serum ocrelizumab area under the concentration-time curve (AUCW1-12) [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 12 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of ocrelizumab SC in patients with MS [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 12 ]
  2. Total number of T1Gd+ lesions as detected by brain MRI [ Time Frame: Weeks 8 and 24 ]
  3. Total number of new or enlarging T2 lesions as detected by brain MRI [ Time Frame: Weeks 12 and 24 ]
  4. Percentage of participants with Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ]
  5. Incidence of treatment-emergent antidrug antibodies to ocrelizumab after SC or IV administration [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ]
  6. Incidence of treatment-emergent antibodies to rHuPH20 [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ]
  7. Proportion of participants achieving CD19+ B cell level ≤5 cells/uL [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of PPMS or RMS according to the revised McDonald 2017 criteria (Thompson et al. 2018)
  • EDSS score, 0-6.5, inclusive, at screening
  • Neurological stability for ≥30 days prior to both screening and baseline
  • Disease duration from onset of MS symptoms of less than 15 years for patients with EDSS score <2.0 at screening
  • For females participants, without reproductive potential may be enrolled if post-menopausal, unless receiving a hormonal therapy for menopause or if surgically sterile
  • For females of childbearing potential, agreement to remain abstinent or use adequate contraceptive methods

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any known or suspected active infection at screening or baseline (except nailbed infections), or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV anti microbials within 8 weeks prior to and during screening or treatment with oral anti microbials within 2 weeks prior to and during screening
  • History of confirmed or suspected progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
  • History of cancer, including hematologic malignancy and solid tumors, within 10 years of screening
  • Immunocompromised state
  • Receipt of a live-attenuated vaccine within 6 weeks prior to randomization Influenza vaccination is permitted if the inactivated vaccine formulation is administered
  • Inability to complete an MRI or contraindication to gadolinium administration
  • Contraindications to mandatory premedications for IRRs, including closed-angle glaucoma for antihistamines
  • Known presence of other neurologic disorders
  • Any concomitant disease that may require chronic treatment with systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants during the course of the study
  • Significant, uncontrolled disease, such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine or gastrointestinal, or any other significant disease that may preclude patient from participating in the study

  • Participants who have previously received anti-CD20s if the last treatment was less than 2 years before screening, and/or if B-cell count is below lower limit of normal, and/or the discontinuation of the treatment was due to safety reasons or lack of efficacy
