Alemtuzumab is a monoclonal anti-CD52 antibody used in the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Alemtuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody specific to lymphocyte antigens. It is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody (Campath-1H) that is directed against the 21-28 kD cell surface glycoprotein, CD52. The Campath-1H antibody is an IgG1 kappa with the human variable framework and constant regions, and complementarity-determining regions from a murine (rat) monoclonal antibody (Campath-1G). Alemtuzumab is produced in mammalian cell (Chinese hamster ovary) suspension culture in a medium containing neomycin.4
Mechanism of action
The precise mechanism by which alemtuzumab exerts its therapeutic effects in multiple sclerosis is unknown but is presumed to involve binding to CD52, a cell surface antigen present on T and B lymphocytes, and on natural killer cells, monocytes, and macrophages. Following cell surface binding to T and B lymphocytes, alemtuzumab results in antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis and complement-mediated lysis.[rx] Research suggests that alemtuzumab can also exert immunomodulatory effects through the depletion and repopulation of lymphocytes, including alterations in the number, proportions, and properties of some lymphocyte subsets posttreatment, increasing representation of regulatory T cell subsets, and increasing representation of memory T- and B-lymphocytes.[rx] The reduction in the level of circulating B and T cells by alemtuzumab and subsequent repopulation may reduce the potential for relapse, which ultimately delays disease progression.[rx]
Alemtuzumab depletes circulating T and B lymphocytes after each treatment course. In clinical trials, the lowest cell counts occurred 1 month after a course of treatment at the time of the first post-treatment blood count. Lymphocyte counts then increased over time: B cell counts usually recovered within 6 months; T cell counts increased more slowly and usually remained below baseline 12 months after treatment. Approximately 60% of patients had total lymphocyte counts below the lower limit of normal 6 months after each treatment course and 20% had counts below the lower limit of normal after 12 months.[rx]
Reconstitution of the lymphocyte population varies for the different lymphocyte subtypes. At Month 1 in clinical trials, the mean CD4+ lymphocyte count was 40 cells per microliter, and, at Month 12, 270 cells per microliter. At 30 months, approximately half of the patients had CD4+ lymphocyte counts that remained below the lower limit of normal.[rx]
Indications
- Alemtuzumab is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including relapsing-remitting disease and active secondary progressive disease, in adults. Because of its safety profile, the use of Alemtuzumab should generally be reserved for patients who have had an inadequate response to two or more drugs indicated for the treatment of MS.[rx] Alemtuzumab contains the same active ingredient (alemtuzumab) found in CAMPATH, and CAMPATH is approved for the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), although generally administered at higher and more frequent doses (e.g., 30 mg) than recommended in the treatment of MS.[rx]

Use in Cancer
Alemtuzumab is approved to treat:
Alemtuzumab (Campath) is only available as part of a special program called the U.S. Campath Distribution Program.
Alemtuzumab is also being studied in treating other conditions and types of cancer.
Alemtuzumab is primarily used for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Based on results from clinical trials, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) approved the use of this drug for RRMS in May 2014. In November 2014, the US FDA approved alemtuzumab for RRMS. A list of clinical trials for this drug in MS patients is available using this link to ClinicalTrials.gov.Alemtuzumab can also be used in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) therapy and transplant indications, but access for these indications is controlled through a patient access program (in the UK). In other jurisdictions use for this indication has been discontinued. Results from Phase 3 trial NCT00548405, suggest that treating RRMS patients with alemtuzumab earlier can improve pre-existing disability, rather than just slowing disease progression (with caveats around risk-benefit, and the serious side-effects of alemtuzumab therapy; side-effects such as infusion associated reactions, infections, and development of other autoimmune diseases)

Autoimmune conditions: Rarely, alemtuzumab, like other similar medications, can cause other serious, possibly fatal autoimmune conditions. Your doctor will order blood tests to monitor for changes that could signal the development of one of these conditions. If you experience any unusual or unexpected effects, contact your doctor to have these effects checked out.
Bleeding: Alemtuzumab may cause a reduced number of platelets in the blood, which can make it difficult to stop cuts from bleeding. If you notice any signs of bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or black, and tarry stools, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will order routine blood tests to make sure potential problems are caught early.
Immune system and infections: Alemtuzumab may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase the risk of infections and reactivate inactive infections. Your doctor may test for tuberculosis before starting this medication.
Your doctor will do regular tests of immune system function while you are using this medication. If you develop a severe infection, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Infusion reactions: Alemtuzumab may cause side effects while the medication is being given, and for some time afterward. If you experience headache, rash, fever, itchiness, chills, flushing, chest pain or discomfort, or dizziness, let your doctor know immediately. Your doctor may give you medications to help prevent these effects.
Kidney function: Alemtuzumab may decrease kidney function. If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver function: Rarely, this medication may cause severe and possibly life-threatening liver problems. If you experience signs of decreased liver function, such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.

Serious infections: Alemtuzumab can affect the way your body’s natural defenses work to fight infection. This makes the body more likely to develop infections due to bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This effect is increased if you are taking alemtuzumab with other medications that reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. For some people, these infections have been fatal. If you have a history of chronic or frequent infections, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Stop taking the medication and tell your doctor right away if you notice symptoms of a serious infection, such as fever, chills, headache, flu-like symptoms, feeling tired, cough, blood in the sputum, shortness of breath, night sweats, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, frequency or burning while passing urine, redness or swelling of skin or joint, cold sores, tooth pain, or new or worsening pain in any part of the body.
Stroke and heart attack: There have been reports of people experiencing a stroke, heart attack, or other serious reactions including bleeding in the lung or tears in blood vessels supplying the brain after receiving an infusion of alemtuzumab. Stroke symptoms may include confusion, sudden or severe headache, sudden loss of coordination, vision changes, sudden slurring of speech, or unexplained weakness, numbness, or pain in the arm or leg. Heart attack symptoms may include sudden chest pain or pain radiating to the back, down arm, or jaw; a sensation of fullness of the chest; nausea; vomiting; sweating; or anxiety. If you experience any of these symptoms, get immediate medical attention.
Thyroid problems: Some people taking this medication to develop changes in the function of their thyroid. Symptoms of these changes include feeling cold or hot all the time, a change in weight (gain or loss) without a change in your diet or the amount of exercise you get, or feeling emotional. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
Vaccinations: It is not known how effective vaccines may be after treatment with this medication. Certain immunizations may be dangerous if given while receiving or shortly after receiving a treatment course of alemtuzumab.
