Study summary

This is a multicentre non-interventional study aimed at evaluating the real-world effectiveness and safety of ocrelizumab treatment in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) or primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), who have been prescribed ocrelizumab as per routine practice. This study will use a comprehensive combination of participant reported outcomes and conventional multiple sclerosis (MS) endpoints that measure clinical domains commonly affected by MS (e.g. fatigue, hand function, gait, cognition), and their impact on employment, activities of daily living, quality of life and healthcare resource utilization. The incidence, type, and pattern of serious adverse events (SAEs), and of adverse events (AEs) leading to treatment discontinuation will also be determined.

Study population

Participants with RMS or PPMS undergoing routine clinical care

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Must have a definite diagnosis of RMS or PPMS and in whom a decision to initiate ocrelizumab has been taken as part of routine clinical practice
  • Must be prescribed ocrelizumab in line with the SmPC
  • Must have provided signed
  • Must be able and willing to complete the PROs as per clinical practice

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previously treated with ocrelizumab (including phase II, phase III and phase IIIB clinical trials, local trials and investigator initiated study (IIS) as well as a pre-approval access or compassionate use programmes or local registries that are not compatible with the MuSicalE study design)
  • Not receiving ocrelizumab in line with the SmPC
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Nov 2018 to primary completion in Jan 2026, 86 months.

Of 91 industry-sponsored observational studies under Multiple Sclerosis, half reached primary completion within 49 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 27 and three quarters within 81. This study's 86 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 425 studies reached it within 41 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 75.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
