Assessing the Effects of Ongoing Ocrelizumab (OCR) Therapy on Fatigue and Cognition in Veterans With Multiple Sclerosis: Utilizing Cognitive Assessment Scales, and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Anza Memon

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study seeks to assess the effects of long-term ocrelizumab therapy on fatigue (extreme tiredness) as well as cognition (thinking and reasoning skills, such as memory, learning and attention), in veterans with multiple sclerosis. The evaluation will involve cognitive assessment scales (to assess memory, attention and learning abilities), clinical evaluations (to assess nerve function and ability to move), and patient-reported outcome measures (in which you will answer questions about your tiredness, sleep and how you function in daily life). These assessments will occur at baseline (visit 1), 6 month (Visit-2) and 12 months (visit 3) to track changes over time.
