Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate a Novel infusion protocol in MS patients treated with Alemtuzumab

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This observational study will evaluate and anaylse primary data investigating the effects of a novel peri-infusion regimen in MS patients in a Candian clinical setting infused with Alemtuzumab.

This observational study has been developed by a Canadian neurologist with the intent to treat MS patients receiving Alemtuzumab in order to mitigate infusion associated reactions (safety) by utilizing an alternative peri-infusion protocol which is a deviation from the recommendation in the Canadian Product Monograph.

All the patients' recruited for this observational study were informed and consented for this novel peri-infusion regimen and were clinically followed by the neurologist for the two Alemtuzumab infusion cycles and for any subsequent Alemtuzumab infusions for potential mitigation of infusion associated reactions associated with Alemtuzumab.

Alemtuzumab Injection

This observational study is collecting clinical data focusing on infusion associated reactions and changes in vital signs in MS patients Novel Infusion protocol: The protocol consisted of the following Pre-infusion Protocol

Premedication with an H1 and H2 blockade (ranitidine or similar, loratadine or similar) for 7 days prior to the infusion.

Premedication with 50 mg of prednisone orally for 5 days before the infusion.

During Infusion Protocol During infusions methylprednisolone is administered in a dosage of 500 mg on every day of the infusion.

Post Infusion Medication

Post-medication with an H1 and H2 blockade (ranitidine or similar, loratadine or similar) for 7 days after the infusion.

Post-medication with 50 mg of prednisone orally for 5 days after the infusion.

Medications to be used PRN throughout the peri-infusion protocol Benadryl, acetaminophen or other analgesics were allowed
