First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people with early relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) can stop taking the drug ocrelizumab after two years and still stay relapse-free. About 123 participants will receive the drug for two years, then be randomly assigned to continue the drug or switch to a placebo for another two years. The goal is to see if early treatment can lead to lasting remission without ongoing medication.
