Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Overall Status: Active - Not Recruiting

Phase

Condition

Treatment

Ofatumumab

Disease modifying treatment (DMT)

Clinical Study ID

NCT05090371
COMB157GUS09
  • Ages 18-50
  • All Genders

Study Summary

This study will evaluate if relapsing-remitting MS patients that have not had a relapse in the past year would benefit from a switch to ofatumumab versus staying on their continued current therapy. This study will also look at whether an elevated serum neurofilament light (NfL) level predicts enhanced benefit from a switch to ofatumumab.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study.

  • Age 18-45 years

  • Diagnosis of RRMS per McDonald Criteria (2017)

  • EDSS 0-5.5 (Inclusive)

  • Able to obtain MRI and attend study visits at sites

  • Willing to use wearable device as specified in the protocol

  • Able to provide blood sample

  • On a current DMT with approved label use for treatment of RRMS at least 6 monthsprior to Screening

  • No relapse reported within 6 months prior to Screening

  • Patients may enroll in the trial if they have subclinical disease activity asmeasured by MRI prior to enrollment. An absence of MRI activity is not exclusionary.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Primary progressive or secondary progressive phenotype

  • Diseases other than multiple sclerosis responsible for the clinical or MRIpresentation

  • Use of experimental or investigational drugs for MS within 2 years from Screening

  • Known sensitivity to gadolinium

  • Central Nervous System (CNS) anomalies that are better accounted for by anotherdisease process

  • Known active malignancies

  • Active chronic disease (or stable but treated with immune therapy) of the immunesystem other than MS

  • Active infections including systemic bacterial, viral (including COVID-19) or fungalinfections, known to have AIDS or tested positive for HIV antibodies

  • Neurological findings consistent with Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML), or confirmed PML

  • IgG or IgM levels below lower limit of normal (LLN) at Screening

Total Participants: 136

Study Description

This is a multicenter, prospective study of up to 150 relapsing-remitting MS participants/ The study is looking to see if patients who have not had a relapse in the past year would benefit from switching to ofatumumab.

After giving consent, participants will have a 1 week screening/qualification period. If they qualify to continue, they will start a a six month run-in period during which lab samples will be collected. Patients that are relapse-free during the run-in period will continue into next period of the study in which they will be randomized to either ofatumumab or continued therapy for the next 15 months. Every 3 out of 5 randomized participants will be selected to wear a digital study watch to collect physical activity, sleep, and vitals during this 15 month period. The study watch will be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but can be removed during showers/bathing. At the end of the 15 month period, a study completion visit will be held.

The total study duration is 21 months plus 1 week for screening/qualification.
