Description | Inappropriate growth of or self-directed antibody production by B-cells is the etiological underpinning of a variety of conditions, including the multiple sclerosis-like neurological condition neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).[A214283, A214286] Inebilizumab is a humanized afucosylated monoclonal IgG1 antibody directed against the broadly expressed B-cell surface antigen CD19. Inebilizumab is cytolytic, resulting in B-cell depletion and offering therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from NMOSD. Compared to the anti-CD20 antibody [rituximab], which is also used to treat NMOSD, inebilizumab has broader specificity.[A214280, A214289, A214292, A214295, A214298, A214301] Inebilizumab was granted FDA approval on June 11, 2020, for the treatment of anti-aquaporin 4 positive NMOSD patients.[L14315] Given its mechanism of action and good safety profile, it may prove useful in the treatment of other conditions linked to autoimmune antibody production or B-cell malignancies.[A214280, A214295] | |
