Long-term management considerations in patients treated with antiCD20 agents

MS Academy will host a live webinar on Monday 30th January at 17:00. You are invited to watch the webinar from your computer or tablet. We will be live for 1 hour and 30 minutes via Zoom and a recording will be available following the meeting.

Topics for discussion

AntiCD20 agents are now the most commonly prescribed disease-modifying therapies in the UK because of their high efficacy, excellent tolerability and convenience. While long-term follow-up studies have been reassuring about the overall safety profile of antiCD20 agents common management problems include hypogammaglbulinemia and infections, managing patients with concomitant autoimmune diseases and cancer, and family planning. Data is also lacking on when to consider stopping treatment, or de-escalation. The webinar will explore these issues through a series of case studies and a review of the latest available data.

Objectives:

• Review latest data on long-term safety of anti-CD20 agents
• Discuss management problems in patients treated with antiCD20 agents including neutropenia, hypogammaglbulinemia and infections, comorbidities and family planning using case-based examples
• De-escalation in stable patients on antiCD20 agents
