Abstract

Background

In the pivotal trials of ocrelizumab (OCR) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS; OPERA I, OPERA II), ≈75% of participants had no previous disease-modifying therapy (DMT).

Objectives

To report 2-year findings from the Phase IIIb CHORDS study (NCT02637856) investigating OCR in patients with RRMS who had a suboptimal response with previous DMT.

Methods

CHORDS enrolled patients who had a suboptimal response (≥1 relapse, ≥1 T1 gadolinium [Gd]-enhancing lesion or ≥2 new/enlarging T2 lesions) after ≥6 months of treatment with 1 to 3 previous DMTs. All participants received OCR 600 mg every 24 weeks for 96 weeks and were included in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Annualized relapse rate (ARR), changes in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and safety were assessed in the ITT population. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients free of any protocol-defined event (i.e. relapse, T1 Gd-enhancing lesion, new/enlarging T2 lesion, 24-week confirmed disability progression [CDP] on the EDSS) and was evaluated using a modified ITT (mITT) population, which imputed as having an event those patients who terminated early for lack of efficacy or death and excluded patients who discontinued for reasons other than an event.

Results

The ITT population included 608 patients with a mean (SD) time since diagnosis of 4.2 (3.03) years. The most frequently used DMTs prior to enrollment included glatiramer acetate (49.3%), dimethyl fumarate (35.4%) and fingolimod (20.1%). In the mITT population (576 [94.7%]), 48.1% of patients were free of all protocol-defined events, and most experienced freedom from individual events (relapse, 89.6%; T1 Gd-enhancing lesions, 95.5%; new/enlarging T2 lesions, 59.5%; 24-week CDP, 89.6%) over 96 weeks. Similar results were observed for the primary endpoint in those who received 1 vs >1 prior DMT (50.9% vs 44.5%) as well as for individual events (relapse, 90.0% vs 89.2%; T1 Gd-enhancing lesion, 95.8% vs 95.1%; new/enlarging T2 lesion, 61.4% vs 57.1%; 24-week CDP, 90.9% vs 87.9%). The adjusted ARR over 96 weeks was 0.046. Most patients had stable (<1-point change; 61.5%) or improved (≥1-point decrease; 22.7%) EDSS scores. There were no deaths or new safety signals.

Conclusions

This analysis demonstrates the potential benefits of ocrelizumab treatment over 2 years in patients with RRMS who are relatively early in the disease course and have experienced suboptimal response on prior DMTs.
