  • Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or is a WOCBP and agrees to use an acceptable contraceptive method
  • the participant must not have access to ocrelizumab (eg, ocrelizumab not available on the national market or not reimbursed for the approved indication).
  • the participant must have access to and be eligible to be treated with ocrelizumab but: 1) does not tolerate it due to side effects or safety reasons; and/or 2) has failed ocrelizumab treatment due to perceived lack of efficacy

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

  • Participant has conditions that would adversely affect study participation such as short life expectancy.
  • Evidence of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), transplantation, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), active hepatitis B or C, active or latent tuberculosis or other active infection that would adversely affect study participation.
  • Persistent chronic or active or recurring system infection that may adversely affect participation or IMP administration in this study as judged by the investigator
  • History of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening.
  • History of alcohol or drug abuse within 1 year prior to Screening.

  • Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities (including evidence of liver injury) or electrocardiogram abnormalities at Screening.
  • A bleeding disorder or known platelet dysfunction at any time prior to the screening visit.
  • A platelet count <150 000/μL at the screening visit.
  • A history of significant bleeding event within 6 months prior to screening, according to the Investigator's judgment such as, but not limited to cerebral or gastrointestinal
  • Lymphocyte count below the lower limit of normal at Screening.
  • Recent live (attenuated) vaccine within 2 months before the first treatment visit.
  • Recent major surgery (within 4 weeks of Screening) or planned major surgery during the study.
