| Summary: | Objectives. Immune reconstitution therapies (IRT), which include antibody-based cell-depleting therapies targeting CD52+ (alemtuzumab) or CD20+ (rituximab, ocrelizumab) leukocytes, are approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Thyroid autoimmunity is a common adverse effect of alemtuzumab treatment, Graves’ disease (GD) being the most prevalent manifestation. To date, thyroid autoimmunity events have not been reported with CD20-targeting monoclonal antibodies. |
