Objective

To assess the effect of ofatumumab versus teriflunomide on confirmed disability Progression Independent of Relapse Activity (PIRA).

Background

Ofatumumab, the first fully human anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody with a monthly low-dose (20 mg, s.c.) regimen, showed superior efficacy versus teriflunomide in the Phase 3 ASCLEPIOS I and II trials in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) patients. As RMS patients acquire disability due to incomplete recovery from relapses or through gradual disability progression, it is important to characterize treatment effect on PIRA.

Design/Methods

In this pooled analysis of the ASCLEPIOS I and II trials, the risk of disability progression confirmed at 3-/6-months (3mCDP/6mCDP: Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS] score increase of ≥1.0 if baseline EDSS score <6, or ≥0.5 if baseline EDSS score ≥6) was evaluated in three subsets of patients: (A) without confirmed relapses during the study; (B) without confirmed relapses prior to a 3mCDP/6mCDP event; (C) with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis diagnosis at study-entry and without confirmed relapses during the study. Hazard ratios (HRs) and p-values were calculated by a Cox-regression model adjusted for study as stratum, for treatment, region, and baseline EDSS score as covariates. An inversed probability censor weighted (IPCW) analysis, censoring patients with confirmed relapses prior to a 3mCDP/6mCDP event, was also performed.

Results

Ofatumumab significantly reduced the risk of 3mCDP and 6mCDP (vs. teriflunomide) in all subsets analyzed except for 6mCDP in Subset-C: Subset-A by 41.3% (HR [95%CI]: 0.587 [0.407?0.848], p=0.004) and 36.8% (0.632 [0.421?0.947], p=0.026); Subset-B by 48.4% (0.516 [0.365?0.729], p<0.001) and 44.9% (0.551 [0.377?0.805], p=0.002); and Subset-C by 68.8% (0.312 [0.114?0.859], p=0.024) and 53.7% (0.463 [0.158?1.355], p=0.160). IPCW estimation of PIRA, confirmed risk reduction for 3mCDP (46.0%: 0.540 [0.396?0.738], p<0.001) and 6mCDP (42.5%: 0.575 [0.409?0.808], p=0.001) versus teriflunomide.

Conclusions

When compared with teriflunomide, ofatumumab markedly reduced disability progression independent of relapses in a RMS population.
