Frequently asked questions about Alemtuzumab

What is Alemtuzumab used for in Sickle Cell Disease?

Alemtuzumab is being studied for use in Sickle Cell Disease as part of a stem cell transplantation regimen. It is an investigational small molecule in Phase 3 clinical development for this hematology indication. The drug is not approved and remains under clinical investigation.

What does Alemtuzumab target?

Alemtuzumab targets CD52, a protein found on the surface of mature lymphocytes. By binding to CD52, it leads to the depletion of these immune cells, which is useful in conditioning patients before stem cell transplantation. This mechanism is being evaluated in the context of Sickle Cell Disease treatment.

Who makes Alemtuzumab?

Alemtuzumab is being developed by Meridian Bioscience Inc, which trades under the ticker VIVO. The company is conducting clinical research on this drug for Sickle Cell Disease, with the asset currently in Phase 3 development.

What phase is Alemtuzumab in?

Alemtuzumab is in Phase 3 clinical development for Sickle Cell Disease. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trial has been completed, with results not yet reported in this context.

What clinical trials is Alemtuzumab in?

Alemtuzumab is associated with one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT01877837, titled 'Stem Cell Transplantation for Sickle Cell Anemia'. This trial enrolled 30 participants in the United States, with a minimum age of 2 years, and was uncontrolled, meaning there was no comparator arm.

Is Alemtuzumab the same as Campath?

Alemtuzumab is also known as Campath, a brand name for the same drug. In the context of Sickle Cell Disease, it is being investigated under the name Alemtuzumab, but it is the same compound. This alternative name is important for literature searches and understanding its clinical history.
