Abstract

Alemtuzumab is an anti-CD52 antibody approved for the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The summary of product characteristics (SmPC) provides recommendations on the administration of alemtuzumab to prevent or reduce the risk of serious side effects associated with alemtuzumab infusion, including myocardial ischemia, hemorrhagic stroke, arterial dissection, and pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage. However, real-world implementation of alemtuzumab infusion management recommendations has not been previously assessed.
