OCREVUS (ocrelizumab)
OCREVUS is indicated for the treatment of Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease); Primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
How OCREVUS Works
Ocrelizumab functions by binding to CD20, a cell surface antigen found on pre-B and mature B lymphocytes. While the precise therapeutic mechanism in multiple sclerosis is unknown, this binding leads to the destruction of these B cells. The process occurs through antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis and complement-mediated lysis.

OCREVUS Approval History
What OCREVUS Treats
2 indicationsOCREVUS is approved for 2 conditions since its original approval in 2017. These indications span multiple therapeutic areas including oncology, immunology, and more.
- Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease)
- Primary progressive multiple sclerosis
OCREVUS Target & Pathway
ProTarget
A protein found on the surface of B-cells but not stem cells or plasma cells. Anti-CD20 antibodies deplete B-cells, making them effective in B-cell cancers and autoimmune diseases where B-cells drive pathology.
OCREVUS Competitive Set
ProThree rings of competition based on shared molecular targets and treated indications.
Direct competitors
Same target(s) AND same indication — head-to-head.
MoA expansion candidates
Same target(s), different indications — where else is this mechanism being explored?
Indication competitors
Same indication, different mechanism — what else might this patient receive?
Filters applied: drops same-active-ingredient (505(b)(2) reformulations), route-mismatch (topical vs systemic), and cross-therapeutic-area matches in same-indication rings.

How We Calculate These Metrics
Trial Activity Stage
Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.
Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.
- Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
- Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
- Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
- Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
- Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
