A Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Parallel-Group Study To Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ocrelizumab in Comparison to Interferon Beta-1a (Rebif®) in Patients With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis

This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy
and safety of ocrelizumab in comparison with interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in participants with
relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ocrelizumab
600 mg or matching placebo intravenous (IV) as 300 mg infusions on Days 1 and 15 for the
first dose and as a single infusion of 600 mg for all subsequent infusions every 24 weeks,
with placebo injections matching interferon beta-1a SC three times per week; or interferon
beta-1a 44 mcg SC injections three times per week (with placebo infusions matching
ocrelizumab infusions every 24 weeks). Planned duration of double-blind treatment is 96
weeks. Participants who complete the 96-week double-blind treatment will have an option to
enter a single-group, active-treatment, open-label extension period, providing they fulfill
the eligibility criteria.
