About
A single arm study evaluating the continued efficacy, safety and tolerability of ofatumumab in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis who are transitioning from aCD20 mAb therapy
Full description
This is a single-arm multi-center, study in approximately 100 participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis who were previously treated with aCD20 mAb therapy. Eligible participants will receive open label ofatumumab 20 mg subcutaneous monthly for 12 months following initial loading regimen of 20 milligrams subcutaneous doses on Days 1, 7 and 14. Assessments will include but are not limited to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assessed for quality by central reading center, multiple Patient Reported Outcome measurements and safety assessments. Participants that do not continue onto commercial ofatumumab or another therapy within one month of the End of Study Visit must continue into the safety Follow Up phase, consisting of every 3 month visits including B cell monitoring until they are able to start on commercial ofatumumab or switch to another therapy or until their B cells are repleted defined as a B cell concentration greater than the individual participant's baseline value or greater than the lower limit of normal. All participants will have a safety follow-up phone call at 30 days post study.

Last fully infused rituximab dose must have occurred within 4-9 months prior to baseline.
Participants discontinuing aCD20 therapy for reasons including, but not limited to: physician/participant preference, access to commercial drug (e.g. insurance coverage issues) or for other logistical reasons (such as geographical relocation, travel, etc.) are eligible for this study. 7. Neurologically stable within 1 month prior to first study drug administration.
Must be able to use a smart device or have a caregiver that can assist.
Exclusion criteria
Participants meeting any of the following criteria are not eligible for inclusion in this study:
Participants that have demonstrated suboptimal response to aCD20 therapy to include:
a. Signs of MRI activity, defined as ≥ 2 active Gd+ T1 lesions, or any new or newly enlarging T2 lesions, documented within the past 6 months
Discontinuing aCD20 mAb therapy due to the following treatment- emergent adverse events:
Participants with primary progressive MS (Polman et al 2011) or SPMS without disease activity (Lublin et al 2014).
Participants meeting criteria for neuromyelitis optica (Wingerchuk et al 2015).
Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women
Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for at least 6 months after stopping study medication.
Participants with active chronic disease (or stable but treated with immune therapy) of the immune system other than MS (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, Sjögren's syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.) or with immunodeficiency syndrome (hereditary immune deficiency, drug-induced immune deficiency).
Participants with active systemic bacterial, viral or fungal infections, or known to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Participants with neurological symptoms consistent with PML or with confirmed PML.
Participants at risk of developing or having reactivation of syphilis or tuberculosis
Participants at risk of developing or having reactivation of hepatitis.
Have received any live or live-attenuated vaccines (including for varicella-zoster virus or measles) within 4 weeks prior to first study drug administration. a. There is presently no contraindication for the use of an inactivated, viral-vector-or mRNA based Sars-CoV-2 vaccine in patients who are immunocompromised. However, different Sars-CoV-2 vaccines may have various mechanisms of action and different associated potential risks. Please review local prescribing information of any specific Sars-CoV-2 vaccine and comply with local prescribing information requirements for specific contra-indications and special warnings and precautions for use.
