Campath (alemtuzumab) and MS Patients - Positive Phase 2 Results

By Lisa Emrich, Health Guide Friday, October 24, 2008

 

The results of this 36-month study are published in the New England Journal of Medicine (abstract available here)

 

Phase 3 trials are currently under way and still recruiting (see Genzyme and Clinical Trials here and here).  If Phase 2 results are confirmed, researchers are excited that this could be a powerful drug when used early enough in the disease process.

 

For the experience of one trial participate, read David's Campath Story.
