HOW IT WORKS
How KESIMPTA Works
KESIMPTA is the only B-cell treatment for RMS that’s delivered as a once-monthly* at-home injection.
*Once monthly after 3 weekly starter doses.
WHAT HAPPENS IN RMS
To understand how KESIMPTA works, it’s important to know how B-cells and relapsing MS are connected.
For illustrative purposes only.
 | B-Cells B-cells are a part of the immune system that help fight infections. They are found throughout the body. |
 | RMS-related B-cells In RMS, immune cells, such as B-cells, located in the lymph nodes, are mistakenly sent to attack the body's myelin—the protective covering around the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. |
KESIMPTA IS PRECISELY DELIVERED
While it’s not fully understood how KESIMPTA works, it’s designed to target the B-cells† in the lymph nodes believed to play a role in RMS.
Think of your body as a maze with many possible paths:
