Phase III trial: Ocrevus twice yearly w/10-minute subcutaneous
injection
By: agate Date: July 13, 2023, 1:52 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Maybe Ocrevus will be available as a twice-yearly 10-minute
subcutaneous injection. It's not clear whether the injection can
be self-administered but my guess is that the person with MS
would need to go to a medical facility for the injection.

results for Genetech's Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) twice a year,
10-minute subcutaneous injection in patients with multiple

Positive results found for new Ocrevus subcutaneous formulation

This article makes it clear that the 10-minute subcutaneous
version of Ocrevus isn't meant to be self-administered. The
patient would go to an MS center for the injections, presumably.
