Summary

This study tests whether giving two strong medications one after the other—rituximab then cladribine—is safe and works well for people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). Sixty adults aged 18 to 50 with active MS within the last year will receive the treatment and be monitored for 2 years. The main goal is to check for serious side effects, while also tracking brain scans, relapses, and disability.
