Early‐stage health technology assessment of a curative gene therapy for multiple sclerosis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with significant early morbidity, reduced life expectancy and substantial healthcare and societal costs. The primary objective of this study is to assess the early cost‐effectiveness potential of a novel gene therapy, IMMUTOL, for MS compared with current high‐efficacy treatment sequences.

Ocrelizumab‐induced colitis: VigiBase disproportionality analysis, case reports and literature review

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Ocrelizumab is a humanized anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody used in multiple sclerosis. Since its commercialization, several cases of ocrelizumab‐induced colitis have been reported in the scientific literature. Methods To explore the potential association of ocrelizumab with colitis as an adverse drug reaction (ADR), we conducted a descriptive and ...

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy therapy [PDF]

Journal of NeuroVirology, 2014
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is caused by the JC virus in the setting of chronic immune deficiency. Developing therapy has been challenged by the rarity of the disease as well as the complexity of patients in whom it develops. Several small trials directed at presumptive antiviral therapies have failed to show convincing clinical ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...
