Subcutaneous ocrelizumab is being developed to provide treatment flexibility and additional choice to patients with multiple sclerosis. OCARINA I (NCT03972306) is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1b, dose-finding study to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of subcutaneous ocrelizumab and to select a dose for the Phase 3 OCARINA II study (NCT05232825).

Methods

Patients with relapsing or primary progressive multiple sclerosis (aged 18-65 years; Expanded Disability Status Scale score 0.0-6.5) were enrolled into two groups: previously treated with intravenous ocrelizumab (Group A) or naïve to ocrelizumab (Group B).
