SOPRANINO Trial Summary

This trial will study how ocrelizumab affects breastmilk and infants.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for lactating women aged 18-40 with CIS or MS who are willing to breastfeed and provide milk samples. Their infants must be between 2-24 weeks old. Women must have had their last ocrelizumab dose more than 3 months before pregnancy, agree to use contraception, and not have a history of severe immune issues, active infections, malignancies, or certain breast surgeries.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how much of the MS drug Ocrelizumab gets into breastmilk and its effects on B cell levels in infants. It involves mothers with CIS or MS receiving Ocrelizumab post-partum while breastfeeding and providing milk samples for analysis.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ocrelizumab may cause infusion reactions like itching or rash, infections due to weakened immunity, potential liver problems indicated by yellowing skin/eyes (jaundice), tiredness (fatigue), and possible respiratory symptoms such as coughing.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Women with CIS or MSExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Lactating women with CIS or MS (in line with the locally approved indications) who decided together with their treating physician to continue on, or start treatment with, OCREVUS (ocrelizumab) post-partum. Women resuming treatment with ocrelizumab post-partum will be included only if the last exposure to ocrelizumab occurred more than 3 months before the last menstrual period to exclude any interference between fetal exposure and exposure via lactation.
