VICKIE, MAVENCLAD PATIENT, DOSED IN 2019 AND 2021

MAVENCLAD is a relapsing MS treatment that’s
not an infusion, not an injection, not a daily pill.*

*Not taken every day of the year.

MAVENCLAD is a prescription medicine used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include relapsing-remitting disease and active secondary progressive disease, in adults. Because of its safety profile, MAVENCLAD is generally used in people who have tried another MS medicine that they could not tolerate or that has not worked well enough.

MAVENCLAD is not recommended for use in people with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS).

PROVEN RESULTS

Explore our results in a 96-week clinical trial, where MAVENCLAD was proven to reduce the rate of relapses, significantly decrease the development of new and active lesions, and reduce disability progression

PROVEN TO REDUCE RELAPSES BY OVER HALF AND SLOW DISABILITY PROGRESSION

MAVENCLAD was studied in RMS patients to measure how well it works (efficacy) and to evaluate its safety. The trial compared MAVENCLAD to placebo at 96 weeks in these 3 ways.

Learn more about this data and the efficacy of MAVENCLAD at MAVENCLAD.com or sign up for more info below.

Rate of relapses: MAVENCLAD 0.14 vs placebo 0.33.
Mean number of lesions: MAVENCLAD 0.38 vs placebo 1.43. Median number of lesions: MAVENCLAD 0 vs placebo 0.67. The mean relative reduction reflects that not all patients had lesions.
§Disability progression: MAVENCLAD 13% vs placebo 19% with 3-month confirmed EDSS progression. This analysis was not adjusted to account for the number of analyses performed and should be considered exploratory.

MAVENCLAD can cause serious side effects. If you have any of these symptoms listed below, call your healthcare provider right away:
  • low blood cell counts have happened and can increase your risk of infections during treatment with MAVENCLAD. Blood tests are needed before you start treatment with MAVENCLAD, during your treatment with MAVENCLAD, and afterward, as needed.
  • serious infections such as:
    • life-threatening or fatal infections caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.
    • TB, hepatitis B or C, and shingles (herpes zoster). Fatal cases of TB and hepatitis have happened with cladribine during clinical studies. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you get any symptoms of the following infection related problems or if any of the symptoms get worse, including fever, aching painful muscles, headache, feeling of being generally unwell, loss of appetite, burning, tingling, numbness or itchiness of the skin in the affected area, skin blotches, blistered rash, or severe pain.
    • progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). PML is a rare brain infection that usually leads to death or severe disability. Although PML has not been seen in MS patients taking MAVENCLAD, it may happen in people with weakened immune systems. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have any new or worsening neurologic signs or symptoms. These may include: weakness on 1 side of your body, loss of coordination in your arms and legs, decreased strength, problems with balance, changes in your vision, changes in your thinking or memory, confusion, or changes in your personality.
