Efficacy and Safety of Remibrutinib After Switching From Ocrelizumab in Participants Living With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis.

The purpose of this Phase 3b study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of remibrutinib after switching from ocrelizumab and compared to continuous ocrelizumab treatment, in patients living with relapsing multiple sclerosis (plwRMS).

About this study

The study is a randomized, open-label, non-inferiority multi-center, Phase 3b study to provide efficacy, safety, and tolerability data for remibrutinib after switching from ocrelizumab and in comparison to continuous ocrelizumab in plwRMS.

This study consists of an initial Core Part (CP) (maximum duration per participant of up to 24 months), followed by an Extension Part (EP) (of up to 24 months duration) for eligible participants.

All participants completing the 24-month treatment of the Core Part of the study may be eligible to continue in the Extension Part, an open-label, single-arm, fixed-dose design in which participants are treated with remibrutinib for up to 24 months.

The study will be conducted in the USA among other countries globally.

Primary outcomes

  1. Annualized rate of new or enlarging T2 lesions_Core Part

    Time frame: Baseline up to month 24

    Number of new/enlarging T2 lesions per year on MRI at month 24 (relative to baseline)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Participants with no evidence of disease activity-3 (NEDA-3)_Core Part

    Time frame: Baseline up to month 24

    Participants with no evidence of disease activity-3 (NEDA-3), as assessed by absence of confirmed MS relapses, 6-month confirmed disability progression (6mCDP) and new/enlarging T2 lesions on MRI

  2. Number of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)_Core Part

    Time frame: Baseline up to month 24

    Adverse events will be collected throughout the trial. Any safety assessment findings such as laboratory, vital signs, electrocardiogram data that are considered clinically significant or meet the protocol definition of an adverse event will be reported as adverse event or serious adverse event, as appropriate

  3. Annualized rate of new or enlarging T2 lesions_Extension Part

    Time frame: Month 24 up to month 48

    Number of new/enlarging T2 lesions per year on MRI

  4. Participants with no evidence of disease activity-3 (NEDA-3)_Extension Part

    Time frame: Month 24 up to month 48

    Participants with no evidence of disease activity-3 (NEDA-3), as assessed by absence of confirmed MS relapses, 6-month confirmed disability progression (6mCDP) and new/enlarging T2 lesions on MRI

  5. Number of Adverse events and serious adverse events_Extension Part

    Time frame: Month 24 up to month 48

    Adverse events will be collected throughout the trial. Any safety assessment findings such as laboratory, vital signs, electrocardiogram data that are considered clinically significant or meet the protocol definition of an adverse event will be reported as adverse event or serious adverse event, as appropriate
