People With Multiple Sclerosis Treated With Ocrelizumab and GLP-1 Agonists


Sponsor

Northwestern University

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Nov 15, 2025

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The primary outcome measure is PIRA (progression independent of relapse activity), based primarily on clinical assessment, dichotomized as present or not. For Aim 1, the cohort, patient-derived disability status (PDDS) score, and ambulation score (self-reported) will be the primary endpoints of interest. For Aim 2, the clinical trial, PIRA will be measured pre-GLP-1 start and at study end (week 72). A composite score of disability, similar to the ORATORIO13 trial will be constructed including EDSS score, 25-foot timed walk, 9-hole peg test, and SDMT score.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is observing people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are being treated with ocrelizumab (a disease-modifying therapy) and are also taking GLP-1 agonist medications (commonly used for diabetes and weight loss, such as semaglutide or liraglutide). The goal is to understand whether GLP-1 agonists might have any effect on MS disease activity or progression. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18–70 years old with a confirmed MS diagnosis (any type) - Your BMI is 24 or above - You have received at least one dose of ocrelizumab - Your MS disability score is less than 7.0 (meaning you can still walk) - You are willing to provide informed consent and an MRI confirming your MS diagnosis **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have previously received aggressive MS treatments such as Lemtrada, Mavenclad, cyclophosphamide, or stem cell transplant - You are currently in another clinical trial - You had a relapse in the last 3 months - You have had major surgery in the past 6 months or taken systemic steroids in the past 3 months - You have not been on ocrelizumab for more than 9 months - You are unable to communicate in a language the hospital can support Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGGLP-1

Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist agent is the study agent of interest. This study will not supply the GLP-1 drug but depends on the patient's clinical prescription of this drug.

DRUGOcrelizumab (US)

All participants will be treated with Ocrelizumab for the indication of MS; however, the study will not provide Ocrelizumab as it will be part of the participant's routine clinical care.
