Medical Description

Lemtrada injection is used to treat relapsing-remitting forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and contains alemtuzumab, a CD52-directed monoclonal antibody. It binds to CD52 on certain white blood cells and causes their depletion, reducing the abnormal immune activity involved in MS.

Because Lemtrada injection significantly reduces certain blood cells and suppresses the immune system, it can increase the risk of serious or potentially fatal infections and other complications. Close medical monitoring and infection-prevention measures are required during and after treatment.

Lemtrada injection is administered as a slow intravenous infusion, by trained healthcare professionals. Premedication is given before each infusion to reduce infusion-related reactions, which may include fever, chills, low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, wheezing, or rash.

Lemtrada injection must be used exactly as prescribed and should not be started, stopped, or modified without medical advice. Serious risks include severe reductions in blood-cell counts, serious infusion reactions, and serious or potentially fatal infections.

Before treatment, tell your doctor if you have an active infection, immune-system disorder, heart condition, low blood pressure, or a previous serious reaction to alemtuzumab or other medicines. Also provide a complete list of all medicines, supplements, vitamins, and herbal products you take.

Women who could become pregnant should use effective contraception during treatment and for the recommended period after the last treatment course. Because regular blood monitoring is required during treatment and for an extended period afterward, Lemtrada injection should only be administered under appropriate medical supervision.

Alcohol

Alcohol

It is best to avoid alcohol during your treatment course. If you have any questions about whether any amount of alcohol is safe for you, speak to your doctor before making that decision.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Breastfeeding is not recommended in patients taking Lemtrada injection. Do not breastfeed during the treatment and for the period advised by your doctor after treatment because the effects on a breastfed infant are not adequately established.

Other General Warnings

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • Patients should not receive live viral vaccines while on or recently after Lemtrada injection treatment.
  • Patients should immediately report any signs of infection (such as fever), unusual bleeding, bruising, or other severe symptoms to their doctor
  • Regular monitoring is essential, including blood counts, kidney function and urine testing, and thyroid function tests during treatment and for an extended period after treatment.
  • Seek immediate medical attention for severe headache, weakness, speech or vision changes, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or symptoms of a serious infection.

Directions for Use

  • Lemtrada injection is prepared and given by a doctor or nurse; it is not for self-administration at home. Do not self-inject. Follow any aftercare instructions given by the doctor/nurse.
  • The medicine is given as an IV infusion (slow drip into a vein).
  • Premedication with corticosteroids is given before each treatment course, and additional medicines may be given when required to reduce infusion-related reactions.

Storage and disposal

  • Store Lemtrada injection vials in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F)
  • Do not freeze; if accidentally frozen, thaw in the refrigerator (2°C to 8°C) before use.
  • Protect the vials from direct sunlight
  • Any unused medicine remaining in the vial after a dose is withdrawn should be discarded and never reused.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Quick Tips

  • Take only under medical supervision: Alemtuzumab must be given in a hospital or clinic due to the risk of serious immune-related side effects.
  • Attend all follow-up tests: Regular blood and urine tests (up to 4 years) are essential to monitor for delayed side effects.
  • Use reliable contraception: Women should avoid pregnancy during treatment and for at least 4 months after the last dose.
  • Report signs of infection: Contact your doctor if you develop fever, cough, or sore throat, as the immune system may be weakened.
  • Avoid live vaccines: Do not take live or weakened vaccines unless advised by your doctor during and after treatment.

Dosage

Missed a Dose

Missing a dose of Lemtrada injection may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.It is unlikely that the dose of this injection will be missed if you are monitored in a healthcare set-up. However, if you have missed any dose of this injection, inform your doctor or nurse immediately.Do not receive an additional dose unless your doctor advises you to do so.

Overdose

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse; thus, the chances of overdose are unlikely. However, if you receive more than the prescribed dose, you will be monitored closely for infusion reactions, low blood pressure, blood-count abnormalities and other adverse effects. There is no specific antidote, and treatment is supportive.

How does this medicine work?

Lemtrada injection works by attaching to a marker called CD52, which is found on the surface of certain immune cells in the body. Once Lemtrada injection binds to these cells, it signals the body's immune system to recognize and destroy them. This causes a temporary reduction in certain B and T lymphocytes, followed by gradual repopulation of these immune cells, which may reduce the abnormal immune activity involved in multiple sclerosis.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Inform your doctor about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, supplements, and herbal products you take.
  • Tell your doctor before receiving any vaccination. Live vaccines should generally be avoided during treatment and until your immune system has recovered sufficiently.
  • Other medicines that affect the immune system may increase the risk of infections or other adverse effects.
