New data further reinforce Roche’s OCREVUS (ocrelizumab) as a highly effective treatment for people with multiple sclerosis

75% of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and suboptimal response to prior treatment had no evidence of disease activity two years after switching to OCREVUS in open-label Phase IIIb CASTING study97% persistence and strong adherence to OCREVUS treatment and twice-yearly dosing schedule from real-world dataOCREVUS is the first and only treatment approved for both relapsing MS (RMS) and primary progressive MS (PPMS) and now more than 170,000 people have been treated with OCREVUS globally in clinical trial and real-world settings; favourable benefit-risk profile remains consistent over 7 yearsBasel, 11 September 2020 – Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) today announced new data that show OCREVUS® (ocrelizumab) is a highly effective treatment option for people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who experienced a suboptimal response to their prior disease modifying therapy (DMT). Subgroup analysis from the two-year open-label Phase IIIb CASTING study also demonstrates that patients benefit across a wide range of disease related and demographic subgroups, regardless of prior treatment background. Findings will be presented at MSVirtual2020, the 8th Joint Meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) and the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS).
