Zinbryta is a long-acting, self-administered monthly injection that was branded as a new MS drug for patients who needed a \"new option for treatment.\" It blocks interleukin-2 receptor alpha (CD25) and modulates T-cell expansion. The drug was withdrawn from the market in March, 2018 following 12 reports from Germany (9), United States (2), and Spain (1) following the development of \"inflammatory encephalitis and meningoencephalitis\" in patients on Zinbryta. Although cases of hepatotoxicity made news with Zinbryta earlier along this drug's postmarketing journey in the treatment of patients with MS, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) ordered a review of the risks of hepatotoxicity with Zinbryta use June, 2017; this analysis will focus on the pharmacovigilance data concerning the central nervous system (CNS) complications.
