Methods
An observational analysis of patients who had received NTZ for at least 2 years and were either changed to OCR or maintained on NTZ, depending on JCV serology status, was performed. A stratification moment (STRm) was established when patients were pseudo-randomized to either arm (NTZ continuation if JCV negativity, or change to OCR if JCV positivity). Primary endpoints include time to first relapse and presence of relapses after STRm and OCR initiation. Secondary endpoints include clinical and radiological outcomes after 1 year.
