Summary

This trial will test how well ofatumumab works in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who are switching from another approved MS drug.

See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (RMS), including secondary progressive MS, who have tried up to three Disease Modifying Therapies. Participants should have an EDSS score from 0 to 4 and must be transitioning from fumarate-based therapies or fingolimod due to disease activity despite treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Ofatumumab in patients switching from fumarate-based RMS therapies or fingolimod because their MS was active even while on these treatments. It's an open-label trial, meaning both researchers and participants know what treatment is being given.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ofatumumab can cause side effects like infusion reactions, infections due to a weakened immune system, and possibly other immune-related issues. The exact side effects will be monitored throughout the study.
