B-Cell Depletion and Efficacy Outcomes With Ofatumumab: Subgroup Analysis From the Pooled Phase 3 ASCLEPIOS I and II Trials.

Hauser SL et al. AAN 2020.P7.1-013
 

 

Ofatumumab rapidly lowered B cells during the loading regimen (20 mg SC on Days 1, 7 and 14) in all patients regardless of body weight, and maintained low levels with ongoing monthly 20 mg SC injections

SC, subcutaneous

Effect of Subcutaneous Ofatumumab on Lymphocyte Subsets in Patients With RMS: Analysis from the APLIOS Study.

Wiendl H, et al. EAN 2020. LB129.

 

 

 

Ofatumumab 20 mg SC led to rapid and sustained depletion of both total CD20+ B cells and CD20+ T cells in RMS patients in the APLIOS study

Onset of B-Cell Depletion and Suppression of MRI Activity With Ofatumumab Treatment in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis: The APLIOS Study.

Bar-Or A, et al. AAN 2020. P8.1-001.

 

 

Ofatumumab showed a rapid, close to complete, and sustained B-cell depletion, with no B-cell reconstitution. This corresponded to significant reduction of Gd+ lesions in RMS patients over 12 weeks

Population Pharmacokinetic-B Cell Modeling for Ofatumumab in Patients with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis

Yu H, et al. CNS Drugs . 2022 Mar;36(3):283-300

 

 

 

Data from RMS Phase 3 clinical studies indicate a median time to B-cell recovery to LLN or baseline value of 24.6 weeks post treatment discontinuation (Ref. EUPI) Pharmacokinetic (PK) B cell modelling and simulation for B-cell repletion corroborate this data, predicting median time to B cell recovery to LLN of 23 weeks post treatment discontinuation
