Successful treatment with efgartigimod as an add-on therapy in acute attack of anti-AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD: a case report.
Background: Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease characterized by recurrent myelitis and optic neuritis. It is associated with high rates of relapse and disability. The main treatment strategies for acute attacks include intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) treatment and rescue treatment with plasma exchange (PLEX). Recently, the blockade of neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-IgG interaction has gained momentum as a therapeutic strategy. Efgartigimod, the first approved FcRn inhibitor for treating generalized myasthenia gravis, has shown impressive safety, efficacy, and tolerability, and is being regarded as "PLEX in a bottle".
Case description: We report a 65-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with anti-AQP4 antibody positive NMOSD. Add-on treatment with efgartigimod to IVMP and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) at the second acute relapse showed favorable results.
Conclusion: This case suggests that efgartigimod is a potentially effective add-on therapy in acute attacks of AQP4-IgG-positive NMOSD.
期刊介绍：
Neurological Sciences is intended to provide a medium for the communication of results and ideas in the field of neuroscience. The journal welcomes contributions in both the basic and clinical aspects of the neurosciences. The official language of the journal is English. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications, editorials, reviews and letters to the editor. Original articles present the results of experimental or clinical studies in the neurosciences, while short communications are succinct reports permitting the rapid publication of novel results. Original contributions may be submitted for the special sections History of Neurology, Health Care and Neurological Digressions - a forum for cultural topics related to the neurosciences. The journal also publishes correspondence book reviews, meeting reports and announcements.
