Résumé

Alemtuzumab is a humanized IgG monoclonal antibody approved in more than 60 countries for patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). In phase 2 and 3 clinical trials (CAMMS223 (NCT00050778), CARE-MS I (NCT00530348), and CARE-MS II (NCT00548405)), patients receiving alemtuzumab demonstrated significantly greater improvements on clinical and MRI outcomes versus SC IFNβ-1a; mild to moderate infusion-associated reactions (IARs) were the most frequently reported adverse events (AEs) associated with alemtuzumab. EMERALD (NCT02205489) was a phase 4, multicenter, multinational, single-arm study designed to assess an algorithm for the prevention and management of IARs in RRMS patients treated with alemtuzumab.
