Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ocrelizumab
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Ocrelizumab - Participants will receive ocrelizumab by IV infusion every 24 weeks.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo - Participants will receive placebo matched to ocrelizumab by IV infusion every 24 weeks.


Treatment: Drugs: Ocrelizumab
The first dose of ocrelizumab will be administered as two 300 mg IV infusions given 14 days apart. For the subsequent doses, ocrelizumab will be administered as a single 600 mg infusion every 24 weeks. A minimum interval of 20 or 22 weeks, depending if the previous dose was administered in one or two infusion, should be maintained between each infusion.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
The first dose of placebo will be administered as two 300 mg IV infusions given 14 days apart. For the subsequent doses, placebo will be administered as a single 600 mg infusion every 24 weeks, with a minimum interval of 20 or 22 weeks, depending if the previous dose was administered in one or two infusion, should be maintained between each infusion.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- EDSS score at screening and baseline >= 3.0 to 8.0, inclusive

- Disease duration from the onset of MS symptoms relative to randomization date:

Less than 20 years in patients with an EDSS score at screening 7.0 - 8.0 Less than 15 years
in patients with an EDSS at screening 5.5 - 6.5 Less than 10 years in patients with an EDSS
at screening <= 5.0

- Documented history or presence at screening of at least one of the following
laboratory findings in a cerebrospinal fluid specimen: Elevated IgG index or one or
more IgG oligoclonal bands detected by isoelectric focusing

- Screening and baseline 9-HPT completed in > 25 seconds (average of the two hands)

- Neurological stability for = 30 days prior to baseline

- Ability to complete the 9-HPT within 240 seconds with each hand at screening and
baseline

- Neurological stability for >/= 30 days prior to baseline

- Patients previously treated with immunosuppressants, immunomodulators, or other
immunomodulatory therapies must undergo an appropriate washout period according to the
local label of the immunosuppressant/immunomodulatory drug used

- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from
heterosexual intercourse) or use adequate contraceptive methods during the treatment
period and for 6 or 12 months after the final dose of ocrelizumab. Adherence to local
requirements, if more stringent, is required.

- For female patients without reproductive potential: Women may be enrolled if
surgically sterile (i.e hysterectomy, complete bilateral oophorectomy) or
post-menopausal unless the patient is receiving a hormonal therapy for her menopause
or if surgically sterile

Key exclusion criteria
- History of relapsing-remitting or secondary progressive MS at screening

- Confirmed serious opportunistic infection including: active bacterial, viral, fungal,
mycobacterial infection or other infection, including tuberculosis or atypical
mycobacterial disease

multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)

- Known active malignancy or are being actively monitored for recurrence of malignancy

- Immunocompromised state

- Receipt of a live-attenuated vaccine within 6 weeks prior to randomization

- Inability to complete an MRI or contraindication to Gd administration.

- Patients requiring symptomatic treatment of MS and/or physiotherapy who are not on a

physiotherapy within 4 weeks of randomization.

- Contraindications to mandatory premedications for infusion-related reactions,
including:

uncontrolled psychosis for corticosteroids and closed-angle glaucoma for antihistamines

- Known presence of other neurologic disorders

- Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study and for 6

- For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from
heterosexual intercourse) or use adequate contraceptive methods during the treatment
period and for 6 or 12 months after the final dose of ocrelizumab. Adherence to local
requirements, if more stringent, is required.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab ( Ocrevus®) compared with
placebo in participants with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), including
participants later in their disease course. This study focuses on upper limit disability
progression. This study will consist of the following phases: screening, double-blind
treatment, follow-up 1 (FU1), an optional open-label extension (OLE), follow-up 2 (FU2), and
B-cell monitoring (BCM).
