Not determined
Ocrelizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CD20 on B cells. They are involved in the immune response to damage the nervous system.
Hyaluronidase enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid in the extracellular matrix to increase tissue permeability for better drug absorption.

Pregnancy category: N/A
Lactation: Excretion of the drug into the human breast milk is unknown
Pregnancy categories:
Category A: Satisfactory and well-controlled studies show no evidence of risk to the fetus in the first trimester or in the later trimester.
Category B: No evidence of risk to fetus found in animal reproduction studies and there are not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: Adverse effects on the fetus found with evidence in animal reproduction studies and no adequate evidence for an effect in humans, care must be taken for potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: There is adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite potential risks may be used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category clearly outweigh risks over benefits. These category drugs should be prohibited for pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.
Ocrelizumab targets CD20 on B lymphocytes to induce lysis through binding with the cell surface of antigen.
Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid in matrix to improve drug absorption and tissue permeability.
Pharmacodynamics:
Ocrelizumab activates immune cells to target CD20-bound antibodies and destroy B-cells.
Hyaluronidase improves distribution which breaks down hyaluronic acid at injection site to enhance absorption and systemic distribution.
Pharmacokinetic:
Absorption:
It has bioavailability up to 81% with SC route.
Distribution:
It is distributed throughout the body with 2.78 L as volume of distribution.
Metabolism:
It is not metabolized with cytochrome P450 enzymes pathways.
Excretion and elimination:
It has half-life of 20 days and clearance up to 0.17 L daily.
Administration:
It is administered subcutaneously in the injection form.
