Overview
Brief Summary
This is an uncontrolled, prospective, observational cohort study to assess the function of meningeal lymphatic drainage and dynamics of immune cells in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) or Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) after receiving ofatumumab treatment over an observational period of 12 months.
Detailed Description
This is an uncontrolled, prospective, observational cohort study in patients with RMS or NMOSD who will receive ofatumumab treatment over an observational period of 12 month. Ofatumumab was administrated 20mg by subcutaneous injection on Days 1, 7 and 14 for initial loading, followed by monthly infusion up to 12 months. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) will be performed to assess meningeal lymphatic flow in participants before and after ofatumumab treatment.The change of immune cell landscape in RMS or NMOSD patients after receiving ofatumumab treatment will be monitored by mass cytometry (CyTOF). Assessments also include clinical assessments( clinical relapse rate and EDSS score) and MRI assessments (T2 lesion load, T1 gadolinium enhancing lesion number).

Arms & Interventions
Ofatumumab
17 RMS patients and 17 NMOSD patients prescribed with Ofatumumab will be enrolled after informed consent.
Intervention: Ofatumumab
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline in Time to Peak (TTP) of the meningeal lymphatic vessels in superior sagittal sinus (mLVs-SSS) to the end of study.
Time Frame: Baseline, Up To 12months (End of Study)
The image of mLVs-SSS in participants will be detected by Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) before and after ofatumumab treatment.MRI images would be analyzed by three radiologists independently, and each of them is blinded to the patients' information. The obtained DCE-MRI data are interpreted semi-quantitatively to generate TTP.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Participants With Worsening in Expanded Disability Severity Scale (EDSS) Score From Baseline to the end of study(Baseline, Up To 12months (End of Study))
- Immune cells landscape over time(Baseline, month 3, month 6, month 12)
- Adjudicated On-trial Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)(Baseline, Up To 12months (End of Study))
- Percentage of participants with new lesions by MRI assessments from baseline to the end of study(Baseline, Up To 12months (End of Study))
