MOBILE-RMS Trial Summary

This trial will test if the drug Ocrevus can help improve walking for people with relapsing multiple sclerosis, compared to other existing treatments. 60 people will be split into two groups and receive either Ocrevus or the standard existing treatment (Platform) for one year. Their progress will be measured via walking tests and MRI brain scans, taken at regular intervals.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-65 with relapsing multiple sclerosis who can walk at least 25 feet and stand for 30 seconds. They must not be pregnant, have no other neurological or severe medical conditions, no recent surgeries or broken bones, and cannot be on certain medications like systemic corticosteroids.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if Ocrevus improves walking in people with RMS compared to other Disease Modifying Treatments over a year. Participants will receive either Ocrevus or another DMT and their walking ability and brain health (via MRI) will be monitored regularly.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ocrevus may cause infusion reactions, infections due to weakened immune system, potential risk of cancers, allergic reactions to the drug's ingredients, liver issues indicated by blood test changes, and possibly low immunoglobulin levels which could affect infection resistance.
