A Study of Ocrelizumab in Children and Adolescents With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This 2-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.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Cohort 1 Participants with a body weight from >/= 25 kg to < 40 kg (with at least 2 participants with a body weight from >/= 25 kg to </= 35 kg) will receive 300 milligram (mg) ocrelizumab |
Drug: Ocrelizumab
Ocrelizumab is administered as two infusions of half the dose given 14 days apart for the first dose, then subsequent doses are administered as a single infusion every 24 weeks.
Cohort 1: total dose of 300 mg Cohort 2: total dose of 600 mg Cohort 3 and 4: additional dose level(s) may be lower than 300 mg, between 300 mg and 600 mg, or higher than 600 mg, but will be no higher than 1200 mg
|
Experimental: Cohort 2 Participants with a body weight >/= 40 kg (with at least 2 participants with a body weight >/= 40 kg but </= 50 kg) will receive 600 mg ocrelizumab |
Drug: Ocrelizumab
Ocrelizumab is administered as two infusions of half the dose given 14 days apart for the first dose, then subsequent doses are administered as a single infusion every 24 weeks.
Cohort 1: total dose of 300 mg Cohort 2: total dose of 600 mg Cohort 3 and 4: additional dose level(s) may be lower than 300 mg, between 300 mg and 600 mg, or higher than 600 mg, but will be no higher than 1200 mg
|
Experimental: Cohort 3 (optional) Based on PK, PD, safety, and tolerability data analyses of Cohorts 1 and 2, additional participants with a body weight from >/= 25 kg to < 40 kg may be enrolled and receive another dose level of ocrelizumab |
Drug: Ocrelizumab
Ocrelizumab is administered as two infusions of half the dose given 14 days apart for the first dose, then subsequent doses are administered as a single infusion every 24 weeks.
Cohort 1: total dose of 300 mg Cohort 2: total dose of 600 mg Cohort 3 and 4: additional dose level(s) may be lower than 300 mg, between 300 mg and 600 mg, or higher than 600 mg, but will be no higher than 1200 mg

Experimental: Cohort 4 (optional) Based on PK, PD, safety, and tolerability data analyses of Cohorts 1 and 2, additional participants with a body weight >/= 40 kg may be enrolled and receive another dose level of ocrelizumab |
Drug: Ocrelizumab
Ocrelizumab is administered as two infusions of half the dose given 14 days apart for the first dose, then subsequent doses are administered as a single infusion every 24 weeks.
