Pregnancy and Infant Outcomes in Women With Multiple Sclerosis Treated With Ocrelizumab

Ocrelizumab has now become one of the most commonly used disease modifying therapies (DMT) for treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). It is a high-efficacy treatment targeting a specific type of immune cell in the body, called anti-CD20 B cells. These cells can be commonly found in peripheral nervous system, as well as brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Multiple theories exist in how B cells play a key role in MS pathogenesis, and targeting of these cells decreases inflammation, which ...
