Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Ocrelizumab IV
Treatment: Drugs - Ocrelizumab SC
Treatment: Drugs - Methylprednisolone IV
Treatment: Drugs - Diphenhydramine IV
Treatment: Drugs - Dexamethasone given orally
Treatment: Drugs - Desloratadine given orally

Active comparator: Ocrelizumab: Intravenous (IV) formulation - Participants will receive the first dose of ocrelizumab IV as two IV infusions given 14 days apart. The subsequent doses of study drug will be administered as SC injections. A minimum of 22 weeks should be kept between SC doses. Participants will undergo 96 weeks of study treatment.

Experimental: Ocrelizumab: Subcutaneous (SC) formulation - Participants will receive the first dose of ocrelizumab SC as one SC injection at a dose which is expected to result in non-inferior exposure to ocrelizumab IV. The subsequent doses of study drug will be administered as SC injections. A minimum of 22 weeks should be kept between the first and second SC doses, and between subsequent SC doses. Participants will undergo 96 weeks of study treatment.

* Known presence of other neurologic disorders
* Any concomitant disease that may require chronic treatment with systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants during the course of the study
* Significant, uncontrolled disease, such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine or gastrointestinal, or any other significant disease that may preclude patient from participating in the study

* Participants who have previously received anti-CD20s if the last treatment was less than 2 years before screening, and/or if B-cell count is below lower limit of normal, and/or the discontinuation of the treatment was due to safety reasons or lack of efficacy
