4th PML case found in MS patient taking Ocrevus
« on: June 30, 2018, 05:34:39 pm »
A 4th case of PML has developed in an MS patient taking Ocrevus. All 4 cases are being regarded as "carry-over" cases because all of the patients had been taking other MS drugs, possibly not waiting long enough before starting Ocrevus. Genentech has issued this (June 2018) to health-care practitioners:
