Swiss drugmaker Roche AG and Biogen Idec Inc. are discontinuing development of ocrelizumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), after an infection-related safety signal was observed in Phase III testing, resulting in the death of some patients.

Results from the program will be made... http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseact ... ageid/1397

Interesting to see that they have abandoned the trials of ocrelizumab for RA but are continuing the trials for MS patients!
