People With Multiple Sclerosis Treated With Ocrelizumab and GLP-1 Agonists
Northwestern University
Summary
The primary outcome measure is PIRA (progression independent of relapse activity), based primarily on clinical assessment, dichotomized as present or not. For Aim 1, the cohort, patient-derived disability status (PDDS) score, and ambulation score (self-reported) will be the primary endpoints of interest. For Aim 2, the clinical trial, PIRA will be measured pre-GLP-1 start and at study end (week 72). A composite score of disability, similar to the ORATORIO13 trial will be constructed including EDSS score, 25-foot timed walk, 9-hole peg test, and SDMT score.
Description
STUDY PROCEDURES: Aim 1 will allow fully remote participation, drawing from geographically diverse settings throughout the USA. Participants in Aim 1 do not need to visit the study site in person or be independently mobile but must be continuously available during the study timeframe remotely for PROMS and study surveys and calls. Participants will be enrolled for an estimated 72 weeks: Measurements will be requested every four weeks (i.e. q28 days) on a specifically designed survey instrument for MS participants. Participants will be asked to report medication dosing, adherence to medicine,…

Interventions
- DrugGLP-1
Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist agent is the study agent of interest. This study will not supply the GLP-1 drug but depends on the patient's clinical prescription of this drug.
- DrugOcrelizumab (US)
All participants will be treated with Ocrelizumab for the indication of MS; however, the study will not provide Ocrelizumab as it will be part of the participant's routine clinical care.
