Ocrelizumab is a humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. It targets mature B lymphocytes[1] and hence is an immunosuppressive drug candidate. It is under development by Hoffmann–La Roche's subsidiary Genentech, and Biogen Idec.
It had reached Phase III clinical trials for rheumatoid arthritis[2] and lupus erythematosus[3] , and Phase II for multiple sclerosis[4] and hematological cancer.[5]
In March 2010, Roche announced the suspension of clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. This step followed excess deaths due to opportunistic infections. Development for multiple sclerosis continues.[6]
