  • OcrelizumabDrug

    Also called OCREVUS

    Administer Ocrelizumab under the close supervision of an experienced healthcare professional with access to appropriate medical support to manage severe reactions such as serious infusion reactions.

    • Initial dose: 300 mg intravenous infusion, followed two weeks later by a second 300 mg intravenous infusion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Quality of Life in Neurologic Disorders (NeuroQoL) Scores

    The NeuroQoL short form will be used for this study, which consists of 5 statements on how much difficulty one currently has during certain activities. Each statement is answered on a scale of 1 (cannot do) to 5 (none); the total range of score is 1-25. The higher the score, the less difficulty one has.

    Measured: Week 4, Week 22

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in SymptoMScreen (SyMS) Scores

    SyMS consists of 12 questions. Participants are asked to choose a response that best describes how each MS symptom has affected everyday life activities. Each questions is answered on a scale of 0 (not affected at all) to 6 (total limitation/I'm unable to do most daily activities); the total range of score is 0-72. The higher the score, the higher the limitation from MS symptoms.

    Measured: Week 4, Week 22

  2. Change in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: MS (WPAI:MS) Scores

    There are 2 questions that are quantifiable - they pertain to how much MS has affected one's productivity while working or ability to do regular daily activities. The questions are answered on a scale of 0 (no effect) to 10 (complete prevention); the total range of score is 0-20. The higher the score, the higher the level of prevention.

    Measured: Week 4, Week 22

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Quality of Life in Neurologic Disorders (NeuroQoL) Scores (time frame: Week 4, Week 22). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
