What is Lemtrada?

Lemtrada is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Genzyme Corporation. It contains the same active ingredient (alemtuzumab) found in Campath.

Lemtrada is a CD52-directed cytolytic monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The use of Lemtrada should be reserved for patients who have had an inadequate response to two or more drugs for the treatment of MS. MS is caused by the immune system attacking healthy parts of the nervous system.

See the full prescribing information for the complete boxed warning. Lemtrada causes serious, sometimes fatal, autoimmune conditions such as immune thrombocytopenia and anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. It is recommended to monitor complete blood counts with differential, serum creatinine levels, and urinalysis with urine counts at periodic intervals for 48 months after the last dose.

Lemtrada causes serious and life-threatening infusion reactions. It must be given in a setting with appropriate healthcare facilities and personnel to manage anaphylaxis or serious infusion reactions. Patients should be aware that serious infusion reactions can also occur after the 2-hour monitoring period.

Lemtrada may also cause an increased risk of malignancies, including thyroid cancer, melanoma, and lymphoproliferative disorders. Baseline and yearly skin exams should be carried out.

Lemtrada is available only through restricted distribution under a Risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) program.

What doses of Lemtrada are available?

Lemtrada is available in injection form, in the following doses: 12 mg/1.2 mL (10 mg/mL) in a single-use vial.

Administer by intravenous infusion over 4 hours for 2 treatment courses:

• First course: 12 mg/day on 5 consecutive days
• Second course: 12 mg/day on 3 consecutive days, 12 months after the first treatment course. Premedicate with corticosteroids prior to the Lemtrada infusion for the first 3 days of each treatment course
• Administer antiviral agents for herpetic prophylaxis starting on the first day of dosing and continuing for a minimum of two months after completion of dosing or until CD4+ lymphocyte count is more than 200 cells per microliter, whichever occurs later

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
