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. 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

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Serum Concentration of Ocrelizumab [6 months, Up to 5 years]

  2. Levels of CD19+ B-cell Count in Blood [6 months, Up to 5 years]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Proportion of Participants with Adverse Events [6 months, Up to 5 years]

    Severity of adverse events is determined according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0

  2. Level of Circulating White Blood Cells (WBC) [6 months, Up to 5 years]

    WBC include B cells, T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and other leukocytes

  3. Developmental Milestones - Growth velocity: Height. Change in height measured in centimeters (cm) [6 months, Up to 5 years]

  4. Developmental Milestones: Bone age assessment by wrist/hand radiographs [6 months, Up to 5 years]

    Bone age should be reported according to the Greulich and Pyle Atlas (Greulich and Pyle, 1959)

  5. Developmental Milestones: Male and female puberty assessed by Tanner staging [6 months, Up to 5 years]

    Tanner stages (stages 1 to 5) (Tanner, 1986)

  6. Developmental Milestones: Age at menarche, related with the female reproductive status [6 months, Up to 5 years]

    This milestone is recorded as date of menarche (day, month, year)

  7. Non-MS Central Nervous System (CNS) Pathology as Measured by Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) [6 months, Up to 5 years]

  8. Levels of Blood Immunoglobulins [6 months, Up to 5 years]

  9. Antibody Titers Against Standard Vaccines [6 months, Up to 5 years]

    Measurement of antibody titers to common antigens (mumps, rubella, varicella, S. pneumoniae)

  10. Percentage of Participants with Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to Ocrelizumab [6 months, Up to 5 years]
