High fludarabine exposure and relationship with treatment-related mortality after nonmyeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation. [PDF]
Despite its common use in nonmyeloablative preparative regimens, the pharmacokinetics of fludarabine are poorly characterized in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients and exposure-response relationships remain undefined.

The Effect of Ocrelizumab on Anti‐JC Virus Antibody Index
Synopsis: This study of 553 MS patients found that anti‐JC virus (JCV) antibody indices remain stable during the first 2 years of ocrelizumab treatment. While peripheral B‐cells were significantly depleted and serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA) showed modest declines, the JCV antibody index did not change significantly.
