WOE of Anti-CD20 Therapies

Description

The nature, intensity, and prevalence of this wearing-off effect remain poorly understood. To our knowledge, there is no consensus in the literature on what symptoms constitute a wearing-off effect, nor is there a single validated scale that measures wearing-off effect. The current study will explore the wearing-off effect associated with OCR and OMB, using a variety of validated scales assessing MS symptoms (i.e., fatigue, mobility, pain, depression, cognition), as well as some global questions on wearing-off. In addition, impact of worsening of MS symptoms on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and their work productivity will be assessed using relevant MS-specific validated scales
