Abstract

We performed a retrospective review of side effects and clinical outcomes in relapsing-remitting (RR) multiple sclerosis (MS) patients receiving long-term treatment with daclizumab. Twelve patients with RR MS were initially treated with daclizumab at 1 mg/kg IV, again 14 days later and then monthly treatments (average duration 42.1 months). Daclizumab dose (0.85 mg/kg to 1.5 mg/kg) was adjusted based on clinical response. Daclizumab was generally well tolerated. There was a significant reduction in relapse rate and improvement in Expanded Disability Status Scores (EDSSs) (p < 0.0001). Long-term treatment with daclizumab in RR MS patients has apparent benefit that will require formal confirmation.
