Ocrevus®
Understanding Ocrevus®
Ocrevus® (ocrelizumab) is a monoclonal antibody therapy used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) by targeting CD20-positive B cells, which play a key role in the immune system’s attack on the nervous system in MS. By selectively depleting these B cells, Ocrevus® helps to reduce inflammation, slow disease progression, and improve overall outcomes for patients with MS.
How Ocrevus® Works:
- Targets and depletes CD20-positive B cells to reduce immune system attacks on the nervous system.
- Decreases inflammation and helps prevent further nerve damage.
- Slows disease progression and improves long-term outcomes in MS.
FDA Approval:
- Ocrevus® (ocrelizumab): Approved on March 28, 2017
