Study Summary

This is a prospective between and within group observational study to determine differences in tolerability, immunogenicity and safety related outcomes for 100 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who have been administered at least two infusions of rituximab, six months apart and are willing to be switched to ocrelizumab compared to a 100 patients who are continuing on rituximab as a comparison cohort from the clinic population treated as part of clinical care.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will report the proportion of infusions with \>= 1 IRR (infusion-related reaction) between the switching and comparator groups. Data was collected at Day 1, Day 15, and Week 24 and combined to determine the overall proportion of IRRs over the life of the study.
