Induction of disease remission with one cycle of alemtuzumab in relapsing-remitting MS.

Given that 96% of patients who did not relapse in the first 12 months following the initial dose of alemtuzumab remained relapse-free regardless of receiving a second course of drug, our data suggests that induction of disease remission for some patients might occur following just one dose of alemtuzumab. With further study, these data could support modification of the current therapy regimen.
