Comparable Infection Risk of Ocrelizumab and Rituximab in Multiple Sclerosis in a Nationwide Swedish Cohort Study. [PDF]
In multiple sclerosis (MS), anti‐CD20 therapies have been associated with increased infection risk, but whether this risk differs between rituximab and ocrelizumab is not known. Using a nationwide cohort, we studied infection risk and relapse outcomes among 16,872 treatment episodes with rituximab, ocrelizumab, or other disease‐modifying therapies ...
