Brief summary of the study: English

The purpose of this study is to see if ocrelizumab (study drug) will halt the worsening of the signs and symptoms of the progressive form of MS. Ocrelizumab is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal antibodies act like the body’s immune system and attach to certain cells in order to attack germs and other illnesses in the subject’s body. Ocrelizumab attaches to certain types of white blood cells (B cells) that are thought to play a role in MS. About 600 people will take part in this study. As of November 2017, ocrelizumab has been approved for the treatment of MS in the United States of America, Albania, Australia, Israel, Kosovo, Kuwait, Panama, Paraguay, Russian Federation, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and Canada (only for relapsing form of MS), however it is an experimental drug in other countries as of today, which means the health authorities in those countries have not approved ocrelizumab for the treatment of MS.

Brief summary of the study: Arabic

الغرض من هذه الدراسة هو معرفة ما إذا كان عقار أوكرليزوماب (عقار الدراسة) سيحول دون تدهور علامات وأعراض مرض التصلُّب المتعدد من النوع المترقي. ويُعد عقار أوكرليزوماب نوعًا من العقاقير يُسمى جسمًا مضادًّا أحادي النسيلة. الأجسام المضادة أحادية النسيلة تقوم بالتصرف كجهاز مناعي وترتبط بخلايا معينة من أجل مهاجمة الجراثيم والأمراض الأخرى في جسم المريض. عقار أوكرليزوماب يرتبط بأنواع معينة من خلايا الدَّم البيضاء (B cells ) التي يعتقد أن لها دورًا في مرض التصلُّب المتعدد. سيُشارك في هذه الدراسة حوالي 600 مريض. اعتبارًا من 31 يناير2018، تمت الموافقة على عقار أوكرليزوماب لعلاج مرض التصلُّب المتعدد في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، الاتحاد الاوروبي ألبانيا، أستراليا،كوبا و السلفادور وجمهورية الدومينيكان إسرائيل، كوسوفو، الكويت، نيوزيلاندا وجورجيا, ، باراجواي، قطر الاتحاد الروسي، السعوديه و سويسرا وأوكرانيا، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، وكندا (لعلاج مرض التصلُّب المتعدد من النوع الانتكاسي "الارتدادي" فقط)، ولكنه لا يزال عقارًا تجريبيًّا في دول أخرى اعتبارًا من هذا اليوم، مما يعني أنَّ السلطات الصحية في هذه الدول لم تعتمد عقار أوكرليزوماب لعلاج مرض التصلُّب المتعدد.

Key inclusion and exclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria -Patients must meet the following criteria for study entry: -Signed Informed Consent Form. -Able to comply with the study protocol, in the Investigator’s judgment. -Age 1865 years, inclusive at screening. -Have a definite diagnosis of PMS (as per the revised McDonald 2010 criteria for PPMS* or Lublin et al. 2014 criteria for PMS*). EDSS ≤6.5 at screening. -Have a length of disease duration since PMS disease symptom onset ≤10 years if baseline EDSS ≤5.0 and ≤15 years if baseline EDSS >5.0. -Have documented evidence of disability progression independent of relapse activity at any point over the 2 years prior to the screening visit. In case relapse(s) have occurred in the last 2 years, disability progression will have to be considered as independent of relapse activity as per treating physician’s judgment. -Fulfill at least one of the 21 criteria assessing the evidence of disability progression independent of relapse activity in the last 2 years using the pre-baseline disability progression rating system checklist (Appendix 3Appendix 3Appendix 3Appendix 3). -Have experience of having used a smartphone and connecting a smartphone to Wi-Fi network providers. -For women of childbearing potential: agreement to use an acceptable birth control method during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug. A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). The following are acceptable contraceptive methods: progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of action, male or female condom with or without spermicide, and cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide. A combination of male condom with cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide (double-barrier methods) is considered acceptable. *For both, PPMS patients according to revised McDonald 2010 criteria and RMS patients meeting criteria for PMS disease course as per Lublin et al. 2014, it will be documented whether or not they fulfill each of the three following McDonald Criteria: 1. Evidence for Dissemination in space (DIS) in the brain based on ≥1 T2 lesions in at least one area characteristic for MS (periventricular, juxtacortical, or infratentorial). 2. Evidence for DIS in the spinal cord based on ≥2 T2 lesions in the cord. 3. Positive findings in a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen (isoelectric focusing evidence of oligoclonal bands and/or elevated immunoglobulin (Ig) G index) [If a recent CSF sample or results from a previous CSF test from each patient is not available, this data will be considered missing information].
