Improvement in Patient-Reported SymptoMScreen Scores Among Ocrelizumab-Treated Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: 1-Year Results From the CASTING Clinical Trial
Multiple Sclerosis
P6 - Poster Session 6 (12:00 PM-1:00 PM)
9-009

To report 1-year changes in SymptoMScreen scores among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) enrolled into the CASTING trial (NCT02861014).

SymptoMScreen is a patient-reported outcome designed to rapidly assess symptom limitations across 12 domains commonly affected by MS (walking, dexterity, spasticity, bodily pain, sensory, bladder function, fatigue, vision, vestibular, cognitive, depression and anxiety). Each domain is scored on 7-point Likert scale (0 [not affected] to 6 [total limitation]) and domain scores are summed to calculate a total score. SymptoMScreen is used in the ongoing, open-label, single-arm, Phase IIIb CASTING clinical trial.

In CASTING, patients with relapsing-remitting MS (Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS] score ≤4.0 at screening; disease duration ≤10 years), who had a suboptimal response to ≥1 disease-modifying therapy (DMT), receive ocrelizumab 600 mg/24 weeks intravenously for 96 weeks (first dose, 2×300 mg, 14 days apart). SymptoMScreen was performed at baseline and Week 48 (1-year interim data).

Patients (N=680; female, 64%; baseline EDSS [SD], 2.1 [1.1]); mean (SD) disease duration of 5.0 (2.7) years; 61% had received only one DMT prior to enrolment (most frequently, interferon-beta [29%]). At Week 48, SymptoMScreen total mean (SD) score significantly improved (p<0.001) from 15.19 (12.66) to 13.79 (11.95). Statistically significant improvements from baseline were observed for sensory symptoms (-0.31; p<0.001), vision (-0.23; p<0.001), fatigue (-0.21; p<0.001), dizziness (-0.14; p=0.004), cognition (-0.13; p=0.002), walking (-0.09; p=0.023), hand function (-0.08; p=0.037) and depression (-0.09; p=0.04) domains, while other domains showed improvements from baseline that did not reach statistical significance (p>0.05): spasticity (-0.02), bodily pain (-0.06), bladder control (-0.07) and anxiety (-0.01) domains.

Patients with MS and a suboptimal response to therapy who switched to ocrelizumab experienced symptomatic improvement after 1 year, which was most pronounced in sensory, fatigue and vision domains.
