Background: No evidence of disease activity (NEDA; defined as no 12-week confirmed disability progression, no protocol-defined relapses, no new/enlarging T2 lesions and no T1 gadoliniumenhancing lesions) using a fixed-study entry baseline is commonly used as a treatment outcome in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective: The objective of this paper is to assess the effect of ocrelizumab on NEDA using rebaselining analysis, and the predictive value of NEDA status. Methods: NEDA was assessed in a modified intent-to-treat population (n = 1520) from the pooled OPERA I and OPERA II studies over various epochs in patients with relapsing MS receiving ocrelizumab (600 mg) or interferon beta-la (IFN β-la; 44 jig). Results: NEDA was increased with ocrelizumab vs IFN β-la over 96 weeks by 75% {p < 0.001), from Week 0-24 by 33% (p < 0.001) and from Week 24-96 by 72% (p < 0.001). Among patients with disease activity during Weeks 0-24, 66.4% vs 24.3% achieved NEDA during Weeks 24-96 in the ocrelizumab and IFN β-la groups (relative increase: 177%; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Superior efficacy with ocrelizumab compared with IFN β-la was consistently seen in maintaining NEDA status in all epochs evaluated. By contrast with IFN β-la, the majority of patients with disease activity early in the study subsequently attained NEDA status with ocrelizumab. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
