Study Summary

This trial will compare the safety and effectiveness of a new MS drug, ozanimod, to interferon-beta and no disease modifying therapies. The data from this study will be used to support the labels for ozanimod in MS.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) who meet the McDonald diagnostic criteria. It's not for those with a history of cancer (except certain skin cancers), immune deficiencies, severe heart or lung issues, recent flu vaccinations, or recent use of systemic immunosuppressants.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how well people with RMS respond to vaccines while taking Ozanimod compared to those on interferon-beta or no therapy at all. Vaccines include Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap), Seasonal Flu, and Pneumococcal Polysaccharide.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from the vaccines may include soreness at injection site, fever, fatigue, headache and allergic reactions. Ozanimod can cause infections due to immune system suppression.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 2 - non-pegylated interferon-β or no disease modifying therapyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Comprises of participants received either non-pegylated interferon-β (IFN-β) or no disease modifying therapy (DMT) will be administered tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) and Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23).
Group II: Cohort 2 - OzanimodExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Comprises of participants received oral ozanimod will be administered tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap), and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23).
Group III: Cohort 1 - non-pegylated interferon-β or no disease modifying therapyExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Comprises of participants received either non-pegylated interferon-β (IFN-β) or no disease modifying therapy (DMT) will be administered tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap), Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), and the seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine -Enrollment is closed for this cohort
