Welcome to this site. If this is your first visit, please take a few minutes to look around. There is a lot more here besides Campath.

CamPath-1H (Alemtuzumab)

Campath is indicated for the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) in patients who have been treated with alkylating agents and who have failed fludarabine therapy. It is also a potentially new treatment for Multiple Sclerosis or MS.

It is currently undergoing trials in the UK, USA, Italy and Croatia to determine whether it can help those with an early form of MS. The drug is a monoclonal antibody designed to target that part of the immune system which is assumed to be harming people with MS.

WARNING: Campath should be administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of antineoplastic therapy.
