A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Immunogenicity, and Pharmacodynamics of a New Subcutaneous Formulation of Ocrelizumab in Participants With Multiple Sclerosis

Purpose

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the ocrelizumab subcutaneous (SC) test formulation in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study consists of two treatment phases: a dose-escalation and dose-continuation phase. Participants will receive single ascending doses of ocrelizumab SC during an initial dose-escalation phase, with the option to continue treatment with the selected dose of ocrelizumab SC in the dose-continuation phase.

Ocrelizumab SC 		Participants will receive single ascending doses of ocrelizumab SC, co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) on Day 1 of the 24 week dose-escalation phase. Participants who opt to continue treatment in the dose continuation phase will receive ocrelizumab SC at a dose determined in the dose escalation phase, every 24 weeks (Q24W) for 144 weeks.
  • Drug: Ocrelizumab Co-formulated With rHuPH20
    Participants will receive ocrelizumab co-formulated with rHuPH20, as a SC injection, per the schedule specified in the treatment arm.
