Overview
This real-life study aims to describe IgG levels after switching from ocrelizumab 600 mg IV every 6 to 8 months in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) to ofatumumab 20 mg SC every month and showing a decreasing level of IgG during treatment by ocrelizumab in real life practice in France over 24 months of follow-up. The primary objective is therefore to determine if the downward trend of IgG observed during ocrelizumab treatment is modified after a switch to ofatumumab, in PwMS treated during at least 18 months of ocrelizumab in real life practice, over 24 months of follow-up.
Detailed description
time perspective: retrospective and prospective
Interventions
- Drug ofatumumab
There is no treatment allocation. Participants with MS that initiated treatment with ofatumumab (Kesimpta ®) as per neurologist practice and regardless of the study protocol.
Primary outcome measures
- Slope of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels during ocrelizumab treatment period (minimum 18 months) [Time frame: 42 months]
- Slope of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels during ofatumumab treatment period (24 months) [Time frame: 42 months]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Age at baseline (years) [Time frame: Baseline]
- Number and percentage of patients with stable serum IgG levels [Time frame: 24 months]
- Number of severe infections occurring during ocrelizumab treatment period prior to switch to ofatumumab [Time frame: 18 months]
- Slope of serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels during ocrelizumab treatment period (minimum 18 months) [Time frame: 24 months]
- Distribution of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores after switch to ofatumumab [Time frame: 24 months]
- Number of patients who discontinued ofatumumab before the end of follow-up [Time frame: 24 months]
- Number and type of adverse events (AEs) during ofatumumab follow-up period [Time frame: 24 months]
- Disease duration (years since diagnosis) [Time frame: Baseline]
- Sex distribution (male/female, percentage of patients) [Time frame: Baseline]
- Number and percentage of patients with increased serum IgG levels [Time frame: 24 months]
- Slope of serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels during ofatumumab treatment period (24 months) [Time frame: 24 months]
- Distribution of Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) scores after switch to ofatumumab [Time frame: 24 months]
