Summary

This study tests whether ocrelizumab is safer and more effective than fingolimod for children and adolescents (ages 10 to under 18) with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Participants receive either drug and are monitored for relapses and brain lesions over at least 24 weeks. The goal is to find a better treatment option to control this chronic disease.
