FDA Approves Shorter Infusion Time for MS Therapy Ocrevus

FDA Approves Shorter Infusion Time for MS Therapy Ocrevus 4.5 (49) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a shorter infusion time of Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) for treating relapsing or primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Infusion refers to the slow delivery of a therapy directly into the bloodstream over a period of time. The decision shortens the twice-yearly infusion time to a two-hour session from the previously approved 3.5 hours. This may ease Ocrevus’ administration burden for patients and have a positive impact on healthcare resources. “More than 170,000 people with MS have been treated with Ocrevus the only approved B-cell therapy with a twice-yearly dosing schedule and it is the most prescribed MS medicine in the U.S.,” Levi Garraway, MD, PhD, chief medical officer and head of global product development at Genentech, said in a press release. A subsidiary of Roche, Genentech is the developer of Ocrevus.
