Exclusion criteria 6

  1. Any known presence or suspicion of other neurologic disorders that may mimic MS, including, but not limited to, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), neuromyelitis-optica or neuromyelitis-optica spectrum disorders and any neurologic, somatic, or metabolic condition that could interfere with brain function or normal cognitive or neurological development
  2. Participants who are positive for aquaporin 4 (AQP4) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody are not eligible to participate in the study
  3. Infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV anti-infective agents
  4. History or known presence of recurrent or chronic infection (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus, syphilis, tuberculosis)
  5. Receipt of a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 6 weeks prior to treatment allocation
  6. ⦁ Previous treatment with B-cell-targeted therapies ⦁ Percentage of CD4 < 30% ⦁ Absolute Neutrophil Count < 1.5x1000/microliter ⦁ Lymphocyte count below the lower limit of normal (LLN) for age- and sex-specific reference range

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Peak concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve over a dosing interval (AUCtau) after the first SC injection

Secondary endpoints 7

  1. Rate and nature of adverse events, with severity determined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0
  2. Change from baseline in selected vital signs and clinical significant abnormalities in ECG
  3. Change from baseline in selected clinical laboratory test results
  4. Rate of study treatment discontinuation due to adverse events
  5. Levels of CD19+ B cell count in blood
  6. Incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) during the study relative to the presence of ADAs at baseline
  7. The relationship between ADA status and pharmacokinetics and safety
