A Study to Evaluate the Safety of Administering Ocrelizumab Per a Shorter Infusion Protocol in Participants With Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) and Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS)
NCT03606460 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study is an open-label, non-randomized study to evaluate rate and severity of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) of ocrelizumab infused over a shorter time period than the approved administration rate in participants with PPMS or RMS in the United States (U.S.). Participants will be enrolled into two cohorts. Cohort 1 will examine the effect of administering ocrelizumab per a shorter infusion protocol for Dose 2 or Dose 3. This cohort will consist of patients who have already received one or two doses of ocrelizumab according to the approved infusion protocol (i.e., per the currently U.S. label) and have reported no serious IRRs and who will then receive the next infusion of ocrelizumab at a higher rate in order to deliver 600 mg over the course of approximately 2 hours. Cohort 2 will examine the effect of administering ocrelizumab per a shorter infusion protocol for the second infusion of Dose 1. This cohort will consist of ocrelizumab naïve patients who, after receiving Infusion 1/Dose 1 of ocrelizumab at the approved rate (300 mg over approximately 2.5 hours or longer) have no reported serious IRRs, will then receive the second 300-mg shorter infusion over approximately 1.5 hours.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03606460
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03606460 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 141 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Genentech, which has 206 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Multiple Sclerosis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Ocrelizumab Dose 1 is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03606460 reports 5 study locations spanning 4 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Ohio, Colorado, Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
