FcRn Antagonists (Efgartigimod) for Acute NMOSD Attack
Sponsor: Tianjin Medical University General Hospital
Summary
NMOSD is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that predominantly affects the spinal cord and optic nerves. The objectives of this study are to assess the efficacy and safety of FcRn antagonists (efgartigmod) for treatment of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders during acute phase who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody-positive. The potential of efgartigimod, an IgG1 Fc fragment that competes with IgG for FcRn binding, thereby lowering IgG levels, warrants further investigation as a treatment for acute neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders attacks. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of efgartigmod in acute NMOSD attack.
