MS patients switch drugs to save immune defenses
NCT ID NCT07625800
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 115 adults with multiple sclerosis who are switching from ocrelizumab to ofatumumab because their antibody levels dropped. Researchers want to see if the switch stops or slows that decline over 24 months. The goal is to better manage immune health while still treating MS.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ofatumumab (Kesimpta)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that switching to ofatumumab helps maintain immune function while still controlling multiple sclerosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all MS patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) who had been treated with ocrelizumab for a relapsing form of Multiple Sclerosis according to the ocrelizumab marketing authorization (MA) treatment regimen for at least 18 months. 2. Patients with a decrease of IgG at a minimum of two consecutive dosages (around six months apart) during ocrelizumab treatment\*. 3. Patients already switched or switching from ocrelizumab to ofatumumab treatment (decision independent from the study\*). 4. Patients agreeing to participate to the study. 5. Able to provide their non-opposition * At the discretion of the investigator, if a benefit for patients is expected based on their experience and depending on patient's characteristics Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with ocrelizumab dose spacing \> 8 months in the last 18 months before switch 2. Patient who underwent an immunoglobulin supplementation therapy within 18 months before the switch 3.
