A Study of Ocrelizumab in Children and Adolescents With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

An Open-Label, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamic Effects of Ocrelizumab in Children and Adolescents With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This 12-year study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of ocrelizumab in children and adolescents ages ≥ 10 to ≤ 18 years with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The data from this study will serve to determine the dosing regimen of ocrelizumab to be further investigated in the subsequent Phase III study in children and adolescents.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patients that are aquaporin 4 positive and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody positive are not eligible to participate in the study.
  • Infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV anti-infective agents
  • Receipt of a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 6 weeks prior to treatment allocation
  • Previous treatment with B-cell-targeted therapies

Other illness

  • Known presence or suspicion of other neurologic disorders that may mimic MS, including, but not limited to, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis optica or neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and any neurologic, somatic, or metabolic condition that could interfere with brain function or normal cognitive or neurological development
  • History or known presence of recurrent or chronic infection (e.g., HIV, syphilis, tuberculosis)
  • History of cancer, including solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, and carcinoma in situ
  • History of a severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction to humanized or murine monoclonal antibody (mAbs) or known hypersensitivity to any component of ocrelizumab solution

Lab values

  • History or laboratory evidence of coagulation disorders
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count \< 1.5x1000/microliter
  • Lymphocyte count below the lower limit of normal (LLN) for age- and sex-specific reference range

Other

  • In case of an acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)like appearance of the first MS attack, a second attack with clear MS-like features is required.
  • Peripheral venous access that precludes IV administration and venous blood sampling
  • Inability to complete a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
  • Percentage of CD4 \< 30%

Who the study is looking for

  • Age at screening between =/\>10 to \<18 years
  • Body weight \>/= 25 kg
  • Children and adolescents must have received all childhood required vaccinations
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must agree to either remain completely abstinent or to use reliable means of contraception
  • Diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
  • Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) at screening: 0-5.5, inclusive
  • Participants naive to prior disease-modifying therapy (DMT)
  • Participants who have had at least 6 contiguous months of DMT within the past 1 year must have evidence of disease activity occurring after the full 6-month course of treatment, that is, at least one relapse or \>/= 1 Gd-enhancing lesion(s) on a T1-weighted brain MRI

Age in the registry: 10 years to 17 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
