Campath is a monoclonal antibody drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), and T-cell Lymphoma. However, it is also used off-label to treat multiple sclerosis. Campath was originally approved for second-line treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2001. It is manufactured and marketed by the pharmaceutical company Genzyme and Schering-Plough.
The primary concern with Campath regards its potential to cause severe idiopathic thrombocyopenic purpura (ITP). ITP is a serious bleeding disorder that is caused by having an unusually low level of platelets in the blood. In September 2005, a trial study had three patients develop ITP, and at least some of them died as a result of the disorder.
Aside of ITP, Campath has a number of adverse effects of varying seriousness. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cardiac Arrest
- Myocardial Infarction
- Cardiac Arrhythmias
- Respiratory Arrest
- Pulmonary Infiltrates
- Syncope
- Autoimmune Disease
- Hypotension
- Shortness of Breath
- Bronchospasm
- Chills
- Tachycardia
- Dyspnea
- Neutropenia
- Lymphopenia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Anemia
- Urticaria
- Anxiety
Some of these side effects can be potential causes for Campath litigation, especially if the side effects cause irreversible injury or death.
