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

Monoclonal antibodies...powerful and dangerous drugs to say the least.

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