  • People with relapsing MS (RMS) treated sooner with OCREVUS had earlier reduction in disease activity and less disability progression vs. those who switched from interferon beta-1α
  • People with primary progressive MS (PPMS) treated with OCREVUS earlier had less disability and upper limb progression than those who switched from placebo
  • Longer-term safety data are consistent with OCREVUS’ favourable benefit-risk profile for both RMS and PPMS
  • OCREVUS approved in 68 countries, with over 70,000 patients treated globally
