Genentech, a member of the Roche group announced that new data from three Phase III studies of the investigational medicine OCREVUS™ (ocrelizumab) will be presented during the 68th American Academy of Neurology (AAN) annual meeting from April 15-21 in Vancouver, Canada.

In addition, results of a novel endpoint, No Evidence of Disease Activity (NEDA) will be presented from the Phase III studies in relapsing MS at the Clinical Trials Plenary Session on Wednesday, April 20. NEDA is a composite of key measures of disease activity that assesses level of disease control. Patients are considered to have achieved NEDA if they have no relapses, no disability progression and no new or enlarging MRI lesions over a specified time interval, for example, two years of a clinical trial.

“The data being presented at AAN show that ocrelizumab significantly reduced disability progression and brain tissue damage in both relapsing and primary progressive forms of MS,” said Sandra Horning, M.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. “The analyses demonstrate ocrelizumab’s consistent effect across important measures of disease activity and provide further insights into the clinical effect of ocrelizumab in people with MS.”
