Retinal Atrophy and Neurofilament Light Chain in People With Multiple Sclerosis Taking Ofatumumab
brief summary
This study aims to assess whether, and the degree to which, ofatumumab modulates or reduces rates of retinal atrophy in people with relapsing-remitting MS (RMS), according to baseline serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) levels.
detailed description
Seventy-five people with RMS who due to commence or already receiving ofatumumab therapy within 60 days of baseline will be recruited. All recruited participants will be tracked prospectively over a two-year period. Participants will complete an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan, visual acuity (VA) assessments, EDSS, and sNfL blood level at baseline and every 6 months. Participants will be tracked prospectively for 2 years. OCT scans, sNfL levels, disability score determinations, 100% high-contrast, 2.5% and 1.25% low-contrast letter acuities will be performed every 6 months. Results from an existing cohort of approximately 75 healthy controls (HC) from a separate study undergoing annual OCT and visual function assessments will be used for comparison purposes.
