Brief Summary

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

This is a single arm, pilot multicenter prospective study in up to 22 participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Patients screened for the study can either be scheduled for vaccine, have received a single vaccine with a scheduled second dose, or already completed full course (two dose) vaccination. Fully vaccinated participants must be able to complete immune assay No.1 ≥ 14 days after the second dose of vaccine

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

Intervention Type OTHER

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

Intervention Type OTHER

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.
