The importance of FcRn in neuro-immunotherapies: From IgG catabolism, FCGRT gene polymorphisms, IVIg dosing and efficiency to specific FcRn inhibitors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) binds endogenous IgG and protects it from lysosomal degradation by transporting it back to the cell surface to re-enter the circulation, extending the serum IgG life span.

Advances and challenges in the treatment of myasthenia gravis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease with fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigability. Standard immunomodulatory treatment may fail to achieve sufficient improvement with minimal symptom expression or remission of myasthenic symptoms ...

Efgartigimod improved health-related quality of life in generalized myasthenia gravis: results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study (ADAPT) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
There are substantial disease and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) burdens for many patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), especially for those whose disease symptoms are not well controlled.

Risk-Benefit Analysis of Novel Treatments for Patients with Generalized Myasthenia Gravis [PDF]

open access: yes
Introduction: This study used network meta-analysis (NMA) to inform and compare the number needed to treat (NNT), number needed to harm (NNH), and cost per improved outcome (CPIO) associated with more recently approved treatments for anti-acetylcholine ...

Effects of efgartigimod treatment on humoral and cellular immune responses: analysis of T-cell-dependent antibody response in cynomolgus monkeys

open access: yesJournal of Immunotoxicology
Efgartigimod is a human IgG1 antibody Fc fragment that reduces IgG levels through neonatal Fc receptor blockade. This study evaluated whether efgartigimod affects the generation of T-cell-dependent antibodies and cellular immune responses to keyhole ...
