These results show that ofatumumab offers a highly effective B-cell therapy that can be self-administered at home using a patient-friendly autoinjector pen. "We are excited that ofatumumab has the potential to be a powerful first-choice treatment option for patients and physicians looking for an impactful intervention," said Krishnan Ramanathan, Neuroscience Global Program Head at Novartis. "With ofatumumab, we underpin our relentless dedication to reimagine medicine for patients across the MS spectrum and will work closely with the regulatory authorities to ensure it is available for people living with MS as soon as possible." Regulatory approval for ofatumumab in the US is expected in June 2020 and in Europe by Q2 2021. Novartis is committed to bringing ofatumumab to patients worldwide and additional regulatory filings are currently underway.
