This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I bet that almost every adult has at least one lesion in the brain. I doubt that a large percentage of people have M.S. though.

You are correct. Apparently there is a mouse protiene in rituxan that the immune system eventualy creates antibodies against rendering the drug ineffective. This is the same drug as rituxan using a synthetic protien that is more human like.

This is a phase II trial, and it is very small. Only 200 people worldwide. I wonder what happens if you get the Avonex, you show up for the first infusion and they give you some Avonex instead?

Is anyone here participating or considering the Ocrelizumab trial? I have my first infusion next week.
