Conditions

Conditions

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients receiving Multiple Sclerosis care at the NYU Comprehensive MS Care Center or the Elliot Lewis MS Center will be recruited. A clinical list of patients currently receiving ocrelizumab, or potentially starting ocrelizumab will be screened for study inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Patients Receiving Multiple Sclerosis care
Patients currently receiving ocrelizumab or initiating ocrelizumab per their MS treating physician.
Drug: Ocrelizumab

Administer Ocrelizumab under the close supervision of an experienced healthcare professional with access to appropriate medical support to manage severe reactions such as serious infusion reactions.

  • Initial dose: 300 mg intravenous infusion, followed two weeks later by a second 300 mg intravenous infusion.
  • Subsequent doses: single 600 mg intravenous infusion every 6 months.
  • Observe the patient for at least one hour after the completion of the infusion

  • OCREVUS

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Quality of Life in Neurologic Disorders (NeuroQoL) Scores
Time Frame: Week 4, Week 22
The NeuroQoL short form will be used for this study, which consists of 5 statements on how much difficulty one currently has during certain activities. Each statement is answered on a scale of 1 (cannot do) to 5 (none); the total range of score is 1-25. The higher the score, the less difficulty one has.
Week 4, Week 22

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in SymptoMScreen (SyMS) Scores
Time Frame: Week 4, Week 22
SyMS consists of 12 questions. Participants are asked to choose a response that best describes how each MS symptom has affected everyday life activities. Each questions is answered on a scale of 0 (not affected at all) to 6 (total limitation/I'm unable to do most daily activities); the total range of score is 0-72. The higher the score, the higher the limitation from MS symptoms.
Week 4, Week 22
Change in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: MS (WPAI:MS) Scores
Time Frame: Week 4, Week 22
There are 2 questions that are quantifiable - they pertain to how much MS has affected one's productivity while working or ability to do regular daily activities. The questions are answered on a scale of 0 (no effect) to 10 (complete prevention); the total range of score is 0-20. The higher the score, the higher the level of prevention.
Week 4, Week 22

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
