PlaceboPlaceboParticipants with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) received placebo matched to ocrelizumab at a schedule interval of 24 weeks up to at least 120 weeks.
PlaceboOcrelizumabParticipants with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) received placebo matched to ocrelizumab at a schedule interval of 24 weeks up to at least 120 weeks.
Ocrelizumab 600 mgOcrelizumabParticipants with PPMS received ocrelizumab as two IV infusions of 300 mg separated by 14 days at a scheduled interval of every 24 weeks up to at least 120 weeks.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Onset of Clinical Disability Progression (CDP) Sustained for at Least 12 Weeks During the Double-Blind Treatment PeriodMaximal follow up: 216 weeks for Placebo arm and 217 weeks for Ocrelizumab arm

The time to onset of CDP was defined as time from baseline to first disability progression, which is confirmed at next regularly scheduled visit \>=12 weeks (\>=84 days) after initial disability progression. Baseline for time to onset of CDP is the date of randomization, independent of the first day of dosing. Disability progression is defined as an increase of \>= 1.0 point from baseline expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score, if baseline EDSS value is \<=5.5 points (inclusive), or an increase of \>=0.5 points, if baseline EDSS is \>5.5 points. The total EDSS score ranges from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to multiple sclerosis). The randomized participants who did not receive any treatment were censored at days 0 in each Arm.

Percent Change From Baseline in Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25-FW) at Week 120Baseline, Week 120
Percent Change From Baseline in Total Volume of T2 Lesions at Week 120From Baseline to Week 120
Percent Change in Total Brain Volume From Week 24 to Week 120From Week 24 to Week 120
Change in From Baseline Physical Component Summary Score (PCS) SF- 36 Health Survey (SF-36) at Week 120From Baseline to Week 120

The SF-36v2 is a 36-item, self- reported, generic measure of quality of life that has been widely used in multiple disease areas. It is composed of 8 health domains: Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health. The PCS score was derived based on the SF-36 V2 User's Manual. Scoring for PCS involves (a) recoding item response values, (b) summing recoded response values for all items in a given scale to obtain the scale raw score, (c) transforming scale raw score to a 0-100 score. The PCS score was computed by (a) multiplying each health domain z score by a scale-specific physical factor score coefficient, (b) summing the resulting products, (c) converting the product total to T score. The total score ranges from 0-100, higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.

Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event (AE)From baseline to 9 years

AEs included infusion related reactions (IRRs) and serious multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses, but excluded non-serious MS relapses.
