Lemtrada®
Understanding Lemtrada®
Lemtrada® (alemtuzumab) is a monoclonal antibody therapy used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). It works by targeting CD52, a protein found on immune cells, helping to reset the immune system and reduce MS relapses. By depleting and then allowing immune cells to repopulate, Lemtrada® helps decrease disease activity and slow MS progression.
How Lemtrada® Works:
- Targets CD52, a protein found on immune cells, to deplete overactive immune responses.
- Allows the immune system to reset, reducing autoimmune attacks on the nervous system.
- Helps decrease relapses and slow disease progression in relapsing MS.
FDA Approval:
- November 14, 2014 – Approved for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS)
