What is Mavenclad (cladribine) for?

Mavenclad (cladribine) is a an oral nucleoside analog of deoxyadenosine indicated for the treatment people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Cladribine is used in patients whose disease is highly active^[1].

The active ingredient cladribine is approved in the EU, USA, and TGA, among others as an intravenous infusion for the treatment of certain leukemias (cancers affecting lymphocytes).

How does Mavenclad (cladribine) work?

In MS the patient’s immune system attacks and damages the protective sheath around the nerve cells in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord)^[1], impairing the communication between neurons which ultimately results in the neurons’ death^[3].

The immune cells called lymphocytes play a key role in this process.^[1]

The active substance in Mavenclad, cladribine, is a nucleoside analog of deoxyadenosine, meaning that it has a similar chemical structure to one of the substances needed to make up the DNA (purine). In the body, cladribine is taken up by cells such as lymphocytes and therein interferes with the production of new DNA. This leads to the death of the lymphocytes, slowing down the progression of multiple sclerosis^[1].
