Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Ocrelizumab in Comparison With Fingolimod in Children and Adolescents With Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) (NCT NCT05123703)

NCT ID: NCT05123703

Last Updated: 2026-07-15

Results Overview

The population-level summary is rate ratio of ARR. The ARR is calculated as the total number of protocol-defined relapses divided by the total patient-years. Protocol-defined relapse is the occurrence of new/worsening neurological symptoms attributable to multiple sclerosis (MS) and immediately preceded by relatively stable or improving neurological state for ≥ 30 days. Symptoms must persist for \>24 hours \& should not be attributable to confounding clinical factors. The new/worsening neurological symptoms must be accompanied by objective neurological worsening consistent with an increase of at least half a step on the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score, or 2 points on one of the appropriate functional system (FS) scores, or 1 point on two or more of the appropriate FS scores. The change must affect the selected FS (i.e., pyramidal, ambulation, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, or visual). Adjusted values were reported. OM assessed non inferiority of ocrelizumab vs fingolimod.

Participant Flow

A total of 187 participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) took part in the study at 79 investigative sites across 25 countries.

Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ocrelizumab + fingolimod placebo or fingolimod + ocrelizumab placebo. The study is still ongoing.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Participants were considered to be ADA positive if they were ADA negative or had missing data at baseline but developed an ADA response following study drug exposure (treatment-induced ADA response), or if they were ADA positive at baseline and the titer of one or more post-baseline samples was at least 0.60 titer unit greater than the titer of the baseline sample (treatment-enhanced ADA response). The total number of participants who developed ADAs to atezolizumab was determined by summing the ADA-positive participants across all timepoints.
