Rituximab Not Noninferior to Ocrelizumab for Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Medical Xpress / HealthDay / JAMA Neurology | June 14, 2023 | Elana Gotkine / Izanne Roos et al / Lauren Oommen et al

For patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), rituximab is not noninferior to ocrelizumab, according to a study.

Izanne Roos, M.B.Ch.B., Ph.D. and colleagues examined whether the effectiveness of rituximab is noninferior to ocrelizumab in relapsing-remitting MS in an observational cohort study. Participants had a history of relapsing-remitting MS treated with ocrelizumab or rituximab, a minimum follow-up of six months, and sufficient data to calculate the propensity score. The analysis included 710 patients treated with ocrelizumab and 186 treated with rituximab.

The researchers found that the annualized rate of relapses ratio was higher in patients treated with rituximab versus ocrelizumab . . .

Oddly enough, the “official transcript” omitted the “God Save the Queen, man” at the end. So much for official transcripts.

To the confusion of observers, he concluded, “All right. God Save the Queen, man,” before looking around to figure out where to walk offstage.
