In this prospective, open-label, single-arm, single-institution trial, the investigators will accomplish the following two aims:
PROCEDURES INVOLVED:
Participants will be enrolled for an estimated 96 weeks: Measurements will be requested every 24 weeks on a specifically designed survey instrument for participants. Participants will be asked to report medication dosing, adherence to medicine, tolerability, etc. as per Table 1. It is planned that each participant will be enrolled for 96 weeks (screening visit, baseline visit and four follow up visits at 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks respectively) and would receive Ublituximab on an every 24 week schedule through regular clinical care. Notably, insurance may cover Ublituximab at an every 26 week schedule in which case accommodations will be made to have each study visit at q24-26 week intervals.
Participants will be contacted and interviewed every 24 weeks to ensure study procedures are going as planned, verify data reported on medication and MS disease history, and ensure study procedures are operating smoothly. Participants who do not complete the surveys within 7 days of the scheduled timing will be contacted by a study coordinator by phone up to 3 times. Participants will also be asked to report any medication changes, dose changes, or discontinuations if they occur at any point between study visits.
Participants will be enrolled until a total of 40 individual participants are reached. All scheduled events listed here will be part of the study and not part of routine clinical care. Study screening will continue until 40 participants are fully enrolled. Once 40 participants are enrolled, additional patients will not be screened or enrolled regardless of whether existing participants drop out of the study or are lost to follow-up. Five screen failures are estimated based on our study team's experience with ENHANCE (Ublituximab clinical trial). Once a participant is enrolled, the study will follow an intention to treat analysis.

| Ublituximab | Drug | Currently, many care plans may defer initiating high-efficacy DMTs, such as Ublituximab, for patients who previously would have been previously considered to have clinically isolated syndrome or not definite MS because of safety concerns. Recent label updates including a case of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and transaminase elevations may exacerbate this worry. However, emerging evidence suggests treatment at the earliest timepoint has important, favourable impacts on long-term MS outcomes, far outweighing safety risks. Data in this early-diagnosis MS population are however lacking, and robust safety and tolerability data, underscored by biomarkers that are relevant to people with early MS, will guide prescribers in clinical decision making and likely encourage early MS treatment adoption. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in plasma neurofilament light chain | Change in plasma neurofilament light chain concentration from baseline (pre-Ublituximab IV) to follow-up visits while on treatment longitudinally. | Time Frame: Baseline (pre-treatment), and at 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks post-treatment initiation |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Safety of Ublituximab | The severity as well as the number of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), laboratory abnormalities, and infusion-related reactions throughout the study period. | From baseline through study completion, up to 96 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerability of Ublituximab | Number of participants that discontinue treatment or delay doses due to side effects, as assessed by participant self-report and clinician documentation. | From baseline through study completion, up to 96 weeks. |
