Study description

This is a prospective, non-interventional, longitudinal, observational study of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who have newly initiated treatment with ocrelizumab. Approximately 4000 patients who have initiated treatment with ocrelizumab no more than 30 days prior to study entry, will be followed for a minimum of 5 years following their first exposure to ocrelizumab or until death, whichever comes first. An internal comparator of 2,360 patients newly treated with approved MS disease modifying therapies (DMTs) (per local label) other than ocrelizumab (e.g. alemtuzumab, cladribine, dimethyl fumarate, fingolimod, natalizumab, or teriflunomide) will also be enrolled.
