Table 4.

Mean changes in log-neurofilament light in plasma (pNfL) values between baseline and on-treatment measures using unadjusted and adjusted analysis.

Changes in log-pNfL values without adjustment analysis; exp(β) (95% CI) p value Changes in log-pNfL values with adjustment variables; exp(β) (95% CI) p value
PRE Ref Ref
RTX 0.74 (0.60–0.91) 0.008 0.79 (0.68–0.93) 0.005
TCZ 0.65 (0.53–0.79) <0.001 0.65 (0.56–0.75) <0.001

All estimates were calculated with a mixed effect model for repeated measurements with three different treatment group as the main explanatory variable, adjusted with or without baseline clinical variable: age, EDSS score, recent relapse(yes/no), prior treatment, and baseline pNfL levels; The estimates have been back transformed to the original scale. CI, confidence interval; EDSS, Expanded Disability Status Scale; pNfL, plasma neurofilament light chain; PRE, prednisone; Ref, reference; RTX, Rituximab; TCZ, tocilizumab.
