Ublituximab (Briumvi) for Early Forms of Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
In this prospective, open-label, single-arm, single-institution trial, the investigators will accomplish the following two aims: 1. study the safety and tolerability of Ublituximab (Briumvi) twice annually in participants with early MS over a treatment observation period of \ 12 months. 2. study the pre- and post-treatment change in plasma neurofilament light chain, tested at baseline pre-Ublituximab treatment, and q24 weeks for 96 weeks post Ublituximab treatment initiation.
• Meet 2024 Criteria for Multiple Sclerosis (Montalban et al.) as confirmed by a neurologist; Includes dissemination in space in two of five topographies (with optic nerve included) and/or biomarker evidence such as positive cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal bands, elevated kappa free light chains, at least six central vein lesions, or at least one paramagnetic rim lesion;
• Adult age 18-70 years,
• EDSS \<2.5,
• Able to provide individual informed consent,
• MRI brain available to confirm the diagnosis of MS with fewer than 10 demyelinating lesions,
• Diagnosis of MS within the past \<5 years,
• Planning to start Ublituximab for the treatment of relapsing MS,
