Biosimilar study comparing ABP 692 and Ocrevus® (Ocrelizumab) in RRMS
Summary
ABP 692 is an investigational medication that is being developed to be similar to ocrelizumab. The OAK Study will test the pharmacokinetics (how the body absorbs, distributes, and processes the medication), pharmacodynamics (how the medication affects the body), clinical effects, and safety of the investigational ABP 692, compared to the FDA- and European Medicines Agency (EMA)-approved Ocrevus® (ocrelizumab) in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Eligible participants will be assigned randomly (by chance) to receive one of the following treatments:
• Group A: 3 infusions of ABP 692.
• Group B: 2 infusions of US-ocrelizumab and 1 infusion of ABP 692.
• Group C: 3 infusions of EU-ocrelizumab.
