My Recovery so far post Stem cell Transplant
The last two days I also had
Alemtuzumab
to reduce my T cells and help the donated stem cells engraft. I coped with the chemo pretty well, no nausea or sickness at all and I felt really well.

Vaccines FYI
Some MS therapies, including steroids and disease-modifying therapies like Lemtrada (
alemtuzumab
), Tysabri (natalizumab), and Gilenya (fingolimod), are associated with diminished effectiveness of vaccines and a risk of infection as well.

Campath/ Alemtuzumab
Hi Has anyone been treated with the above medication (I have given both names for it). If you have how was it?and did it work for you? I think I am running out of drug options/ combinations now, and platelets remain at 0. This is the doctors next plan but the hospital have only ever treated 3 people

Looking for other teachers (particularly a couple who have also had campath/Alemtuzumab)
Hi Realise this is very specific but know from here and was also told on G2 (Infusion bay at Addenbrookes - formally PSSU) that there are a couple of other teachers out there whose Behcet's has been tackled with campath. I would love to link up. I've just finished my fourth course of campath yesterday

Has anyone disgnosed with Churg Strauss Syndrome (EGPA) has experience of taking Alemtuzmab (Campath)
Question from the face book group if anyone can help Just wondering if anybody has had -
Alemtuzumab
Dr David Jayne has put me forwards for it. I have to wait until June, 6 months clear of Rituximab but hopefully I will finally be able to get things under control with this new one...

Martin Lockwood treated me with a drug then called Campath, (
Alemtuzumab
) at Addenbrooke’s Hospital Cambridge. I was suffering with Wegener’s Granulomatosis. Since then the Vasculitis Clinic at Addenbrooke’s now headed by Dr.

Chlorambucil may be a more reasonable choice for elderly CLL patients than fludarabine.

Had Fludarabine? You can only have irradiated blood...for life.
Irradiated blood components should be used after
alemtuzumab
(anti-CD52) therapy. Their use after rituximab (anti-CD20) is not recommended at this time.

Has anyone any experience of taking Campath? (Alemtuzumab)
We have received an email today asking about Campath. This lady is about to start a course of treatment and is obviously very concerned.

Vasculitis-uk support research at Addenbrookes for a new drug trial for treatment of vasculitis.
Dr David Jayne's team led by Dr Rona Smith at Addenbrookes are undertaking research into an existing drug,
Alemtuzumab
, to see if it proves to be effective in treating ANCA related vasculitis.
Alemtuzumab
, which is one of the new generation of monoclonal antibodies, like Rituximab.
