Nice to see the research continuing to report positive findings in both RRMS and PPMS. While it is still early days for this particular B-cell depleting therapy, my neurologist said that based on what is known so far, the general expectation is for Ocrevus to become a leading front-line treatment recommendation for MS, and possibly "the" leading treatment.

Time will tell. :-)

It seems to take a long time to gather all the information on a medicine, but I'm grateful to learn that it looks very promising! Thanks for posting the link!

Let us know when you're scheduled, and best of luck! I am now Day 4 post 2nd infusion and doing ok other than a persistent headache (happened the first time too). It will take some time to assess any effect, I'm told, so I will continue to be patient and hope for the best. :-)
