Objective

To evaluate the risk of serious infections (SIs) with ofatumumab treatment over a period of 6 years (cutoff date: Sep 25, 2023) in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis (pwRMS).

Background Ofatumumab treatment up to 6 years showed a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no new safety signals identified in pwRMS.

Design/Methods Participants who received ≥1 dose of ofatumumab in ASCLEPIOS I/II, APLIOS, APOLITOS or ALITHIOS were included. Their data from the first dose were analyzed for SIs by risk categories including upper, lower, and unspecified respiratory tract infections (RTls) (excluding COVID-19), COVID-19, appendicitis, urinary tract infections (UTls), herpes viral infections, and others.
Time-adjacent SIs (concurrent or ≤3 days apart) of the same nature (i.e., same risk category) were counted as a single infection episode. The annualized rate of SIs was estimated by negative binomial regression model, with cumulative infection count per patient in the year as a response variable, year as factor, and time at risk as an offset variable.

Results

Of 1969 participants in this analysis (cumulative exposure, 8042.7 patient years [PYs]), 115 participants (5.84%) had 130 SIs over 6 years; 103 (5.23%) had 1 SI, and 12 (0.61%) had multiple SIs. Of these 12 participants, 9 (0.46%) had 2 SIs and 3 (0.15%) had 3 SIs. Most common SIs were COVID-19 (n=49; 2.49%), UTI (n=16; 0.81%), lower RTI (n=16; 0.81%), and appendicitis (n=15; 0.76%). The annualized rates (95% Cl) of SIs excluding COVID-19, were low throughout 6 years of treatment (year 1, 0.013 [0.008-0.021]; year 2, 0.010 [0.006-0.017]; year 3, 0.011 [0.006-0.018); year 4, 0.006 [0.003-0.013); year 5, 0.007 [0.003-0.017); and year 6, 0.010 [0.004-0.025]).

Conclusions

The results show that long-term use of ofatumumab did not increase the risk of SIs over 6 years, supporting the favorable long-term safety profile of ofatumumab in pwRMS.
