Summary

This study looks at why some people with multiple sclerosis (MS) start or stay on Ocrevus Zunovo, a high-efficacy therapy, while others do not. Researchers will survey and interview 150 MS patients, along with their families and healthcare providers, to identify barriers and facilitators to treatment. The goal is to find ways to improve access to effective MS therapies in real-world settings.

Patients with MS who take OZ for their treatment are eligible. There must be a signed prescription for OZ for the MS patient. Patients who choose OZ will be offered dosing at Northwestern in the outpatient setting. Patients will be asked to complete assessments on demographic, clinical, and insurance-based factors at baseline, 6-, and 12-month visits. Patients will be invited to complete semi-structured interviews on these factors and their experiences.
