Abstract
Aim: To compare the efficacy of ofatumumab to other disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Materials &
Methods: A network meta-analysis was conducted to determine the relative effect of ofatumumab on annualized relapse rate and confirmed disability progression at 3 months and 6 months.
Results: For each outcome, ofatumumab was as effective as other highly efficacious monoclonal antibody DMTs (i.e., alemtuzumab, natalizumab and ocrelizumab).
Conclusion: Ofatumumab offers beneficial outcomes for RMS by reducing relapse and disability progression risk.
