Landmark study tests MS drug in underrepresented patient groups

NCT ID NCT04377555

Summary

This study looked at how well the approved MS drug ocrelizumab works to control disease activity in Black and Hispanic patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Researchers followed 179 patients for 48 weeks to see if the treatment prevented relapses, disability progression, or new brain lesions. The goal was to gather specific data on how this medication performs in minority populations who are often underrepresented in clinical research.
