Assessment of Immune Response in Multiple Sclerosis Patients With COVID-19/Vaccination Treated With Ofatumumab and Other Disease Modifying Therapies

July 14, 2023 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Vaccine responses in patients treated with anti-CD20 antibodies (ocrelizumab and ofatumumab) or S1P receptor modulators (fingolimod and siponimod) were evaluated before and after third SARS-CoV-2 vaccination as part of an ongoing longitudinal study. Total spike protein and spike receptor binding domain (RBD)-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses were measured by Luminex bead-based assay. Spike-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses were measured by activation-induced marker expression.
