Study Type Interventional
Study Design Allocation: Randomized;   Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment;   Masking: Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor);   Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
Interventions Drug: Interferon beta-1a
Drug: Ocrelizumab-matching placebo
Drug: Ocrelizumab
Drug: Interferon beta-1a-matching placebo
Enrollment 835
Recruitment Details A total of 1045 participants were screened for entry into the study. Of these, 210 participants failed screening; the main reasons were failure to meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria or unacceptable laboratory values. A total of 835 participants were enrolled in the study.
Pre-assignment Details All participants were provided an opportunity to rollover and continue treatment and/or safety follow-up under the new extension protocol MN43964. In error, the study completion status for 5 participants was registered as 'Sponsor Termination' in the study eCRF. All 5 participants opted not to be enrolled into MN43964 and decided to pursue treatment outside the context of a clinical trial. In conclusion, the 5 participants should be considered as having completed the WA21093 study.

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Time to Onset of Confirmed Disability Progression (CDP) for at Least 12 Weeks During the Double-Blind Treatment Period
Hide Description Disability progression was defined as an increase in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of: A) >=1.0 point from the baseline EDSS score when the baseline score was less than or equal to (<=) 5.5 B) >=0.5 point from the baseline EDSS score when the baseline score was >5.5 The EDSS scale ranges from 0 (normal neurological exam) to 10 (death due to multiple sclerosis). This outcome measure was considered confirmatory only when results of both studies WA21092 and WA21093 were combined. Disability progression was considered confirmed when the increase in the EDSS was confirmed at a regularly scheduled visit at least 12 weeks after the initial documentation of neurological worsening. Participants who had initial disability progression with no confirmatory EDSS assessment and who were on treatment at time of clinical cut-off date were censored at the date of their last EDSS assessment.

8.Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) Score to Week 96 In Double Blind Period
Hide Description MSFC score consists of: A) Timed 25-Foot walk; B) 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT); and C) Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT-3 version). The MSFCS is based on the concept that scores for these three dimensions (arm, leg, and cognitive function) are combined to create a single score (the MSFC) that can be used to detect change over time in a group of participants with MS. Since the three primary measures differ in what they actually measure, a common composite score for the three different measures i.e., Z- score was selected for the purpose. MSFC Score = {Z arm, average + Z leg, average + Z cognitive} / 3.0. The results from each of these three tests are transformed into Z-scores and averaged to yield a composite score for each participant at each time point. A score of +1 indicates that, on average, an individual scored 1 standard deviation (SD) better than the reference population and a score of -1 indicates that an individual scored 1 SD worse than the reference population.

9.Secondary Outcome
Title Percent Change in Brain Volume as Detected by Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) From Week 24 to Week 96 In Double Blind Period
Hide Description Brain volume was recorded as an absolute "normalized" value at the baseline visit then recorded at subsequent visits as a percentage change relative to the absolute value at the baseline visit. Therefore, brain volume at Week 24 was calculated as the brain volume at the baseline visit multiplied by 1 + ([percentage change in brain volume from baseline visit to Week 24]/100). Estimates are from analysis based on mixed-effect model of repeated measures (MMRM) using unstructured covariance matrix: Percentage Change = Brain Volume at Week 24 + Geographical Region (US vs. ROW) + Baseline EDSS (< 4.0 vs. >= 4.0) + Week + Treatment + Treatment*Week (repeated values over Week) + Brain Volume at Week 24*Week. The EDSS scale ranges from 0 (normal neurological exam) to 10 (death due to multiple sclerosis).

Title Change From Baseline in Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score at Week 96 In Double Blind Period
Hide Description The SF-36 is a multi-purpose, short-form health survey with 36 questions. It yields an 8-scale profile of functional health and well-being scores (domains) as well as psychometrically based physical and mental health summary measures. The SF-36 taps 8 health concepts: physical functioning, bodily pain, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, emotional well-being, social functioning, vitality, and general health perceptions. The 8 scales are further summarized to 2 distinct higher-ordered clusters: the PCS and mental composite t-score (MCS). The range for all 8 domains as well as for the composite t- scores is from 0 to 100 with 100 as best possible health status and 0 as worst health status.
