The study is a randomized (1:1), open-label, rater-blind, multi-center, prospective, parallel-arm, active comparator study which will consist of 15 months treatment period and a 6 months observational safety extension period in 236 total patients with early relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) RMS patients are patients who are newly diagnosed or have never been on active treatment at the time of study entry with ? 3 years from first MS symptoms. There is a screening period and patients are randomized to either ofatumumab or first line DMT at baseline. Patients will be treated until the end of study (EOS) or for a maximum duration of 15 months. Patients who prematurely discontinue study drug or comparator will have their end of treatment (EOT) visit and assessments at the time of discontinuation. After ofatumumab or the standard of care comparator (DMT) discontinuation, patients may initiate alternative MS therapy according to local standard of care, if clinically indicated. Patients who for any reason withdraw from ofatumumab during treatment will be invited to participate in the observational extension safety period for 6 months or until patient re-starts MS treatment with a new DMT treatment. During this period, clinical efficacy after ofatumumab withdrawal will be assessed.
