Risk of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Among Patients With Multiple Sclerosis Exposed to Zeposia
What this study is about
This study will evaluate the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection caused by John Cunningham virus (JCV), among people with multiple sclerosis who have been treated with ozanimod. The study will collect and review reported cases of PML to describe patient characteristics and estimate how often PML occurs among people treated with ozanimod.
View original scientific description
This study will evaluate the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection caused by John Cunningham virus (JCV), among people with multiple sclerosis who have been treated with ozanimod. The study will collect and review reported cases of PML to describe patient characteristics and estimate how often PML occurs among people treated with ozanimod. Researchers will assess factors that may be associated with the occurrence of PML, such as age, duration of ozanimod exposure, prior immunosuppressant use, lymphopenia, and JCV antibody status .

Primary outcome measures
Proportion of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) cases by participant characteristics and potential risk factors among ozanimod-exposed participants with multiple sclerosis
Time frame: Up to 15 years
Participant characteristics and potential risk factors evaluated include: age at PML symptom onset, duration of ozanimod exposure, prior immunosuppressant use, lymphopenia during ozanimod exposure, lymphopenia at PML diagnosis, duration of lymphopenia, anti-John Cunningham virus (JCV) antibody status within 6 months after ozanimod initiation, anti-JCV antibody status at PML symptom onset, and change in JCV index before PML symptom onset.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria

- AE report(s) originating from spontaneous post-marketing reports, post-marketing observational studies with primary data collection, or patient support programs.
- Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis before the initial AE report.
- Exposure to at least one dose of ozanimod before onset of PML symptoms.
- PML event assessed as "definite" or "probable" by the adjudication committee.
- PML assessed as "related" to ozanimod by the adjudication committee.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
