About this trial
This is a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel group, Phase 1/3 study to compare efficacy, PK, PD and overall safety of CT-P53 with Ocrevus in patients with Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Area under the concentration-time curve in PK group
To demonstrate PK comparability in terms of the area under the concentration time curve in patients with RRMS as follows: * Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to Week 2 (AUC0-wk2) * Area under the concentration-time curve from Week 2 to Week 24 (AUCwk2-wk24)
Total number of new GdE lesions on T1-weighted brain MRI in Main study group
To demonstrate the equivalence of CT-P53 to reference drug (EU-Ocrevus and US-Ocrevus) in terms of efficacy in patients with RRMS as determined by the total number of new gadolinium-enhancing (GdE) lesions on T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Secondary outcomes
Absoulte CD19+ B-cell counts for PD assessments
To assess PD of CT-P53 and reference drug (EU-Ocrevus and US-Ocrevus) as follows: • Absolute CD19+ B-cell counts
Area under the concentration-time curve in PK group
Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to Week 16
Total body clearance in PK group
Total body clearance covering both administrations at Weeks 0 and 2 (CL)
Volume of distribution at steady state in PK group
Volume of distribution at steady state covering both administrations at Week 0 and 2 (Vss)
