Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
participants with RMS treated with ofatumumab
Relapsing MS participants receiving a full course (two doses) of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine after starting ofatumumab 20 mg subcutaneous treatment
Ofatumumab
Prospective observational cohort study. There is no treatment allocation. Patients administered Ofatumumab by prescription that have started before inclusion of the patient into the study will be enrolled.
Covid-19 vaccine
Prospective observational cohort study. There is no treatment allocation. Participants will obtain the COVID-19 FDA approved Emergency Use mRNA vaccine through their HCP (private insurance) or appropriate federal, state or local program.
