The FDA has approved Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) for the treatment of adults with primary progressive MS and with relapsing MS.
List cost is $65,000 per year so access will depend on individual insurance plans.
For people who qualify, Genentech plans to offer patient assistance programs through Genentech Access Solutions: (866) 4ACCESS/(866) 422-2377 or http://www.Genentech-Access.com.
