Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study provided efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) data for patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in Japan and the other countries

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study had 2 parts: A controlled Core and an open-label Extension.

* Core part: A 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability and PK of ofatumumab in patients with RMS.
* Extension part: The Core part was followed by an Extension part in which all patients received open-label ofatumumab. In the Extension part, patients were treated for at least 24 weeks and no longer than 48 weeks.

Sixty-four patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to ofatumumab or placebo in the Core part; half of the study patients were from Japan and the other half from the other countries.
