Ocrelizumab is a CD20-directed cytolytic antibody indicated for the treatment of patients with primary progressive or relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is a second-generation recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively targets B-cells that express the CD20 antigen. Compared to non-humanized CD20 antibodies such as [rituximab], ocrelizumab is expected to be less immunogenic with repeated infusions, improving the benefit-to-risk profile for patients with MS.[A18875,A251745] MS is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that leads to neurological disabilities and a significantly reduced quality of life. Most patients with MS experience episodes of relapses with worsening function, followed by recovery periods or remissions. Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) accounts for 10-15% of the overall population of patients with MS, and leads to the gradual worsening of neurologic disability
Ozanimod is a once-daily sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator for the treatment of relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease. It was developed by Celgene (now acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb) and was approved by the FDA on March 26, 2020.[L12573,L12582] The US approval was followed by the approval in Canada on October 2, 2020. In November 2021, ozanimod was also approved by the European Commission for the treatment of adults with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.[L39377,L39382] MS is a devastating inflammatory disease that often progresses and causes severe neurological, physical, and cognitive effects. Inflammatory bowel disease also a chronic inflammatory condition and can cause persistent abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stools, and vomiting. In clinical trials, Ozanimod has been shown to be well-tolerated and has resulted in a higher decrease in the rate of MS relapses than with intramuscular [interferon beta-1a], a current standard in MS therapy. Studies involving patients with inflammatory bowel disease have also shown promising results.[A189318,A189342]
