A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Fenebrutinib Compared With Ocrelizumab in Adult Participants With Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis, Primary Progressive

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 65 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE3
Enrollment: 985
Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Location: Alabama Neurology Associates Homewood Alabama

Summary

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fenebrutinib on disability progression in adult participants with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). All eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to either daily oral fenebrutinib (and placebo) or intravenous (IV) ocrelizumab (and placebo) in a blinded fashion through an interactive voice or web-based response system (IxRS). 985 participants were enrolled and recruited globally. Participants who discontinue study medication early or discontinue from the study will not be replaced. The Open-Label Extension (OLE) phase is contingent on a positive benefit-risk result in the Primary Analysis of the study.
