NCT ID NCT05285904
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 107 adults in Switzerland with relapsing multiple sclerosis who were already taking Kesimpta (ofatumumab) as part of their routine care. Researchers tracked how many patients had no signs of disease activity, including relapses, new brain lesions, or worsening disability. The goal was to see how well the drug works outside of a controlled clinical trial setting.
