Risk of B-Cell Depleters Long-Term (Ocrevus, Rituximab, Kesimpta, Briumvi) Side Effects 0 Views • 4 months ago

Is it safe to take B-cell depleting medications for multiple sclerosis such as Ocrevus, Rituximab, Kesimpta, and Briumvi continuously for many years? In this video, I explain the immune system can become weaker over time with continuous use, and low immunoglobin (antibody) levels can result in serious infections.

Notes:

Is rituximab 500mg just as good as rituximab 1000mg for MS? This deescalation study suggests that decreasing the dose to 500mg does not affect clinical, MRI, or serum NfL results over a 12 month period and may be safer. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32840408/

Do you really need Ocrevus every 6 months? This study in Italy during the pandemic found that "extended interval dosing" was linked to more MRI activity but not disability progression or NEDA-3. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36036858/

What happens if you delay Ocrevus due to fear of covid? Nothing! This retrospective study suggests that extended interval dosing compared to standard dosing did not significantly change relapses, disability progression, MRI activity. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34261812/

An extended dosing interval for rituximab for patients with stable MS during the COVID-19 pandemic may be associated with a low risk of disease activity. https://nn.neurology.org/content/7/5/e825?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=organic
