The efficacy and safety of eculizumab in patients and the role of C5 polymorphisms
Eculizumab is an orphan drug with indications for extremely rare autoimmune disorders. It is primarily prescribed for use in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome; but is also highly effective in the treatment of myasthenia gravis, among others. By binding to the C5 protein in the complement system, eculizumab effectively inhibits cellular hemolysis and autoimmune reactions. Despite this effective treatment, some patients reported no improvement in symptoms. Genetic sequencing revealed three distinct C5 mutations in the non-responders and these polymorphisms appeared to be most prevalent among Japanese, Korean and African populations. Here, we present an overview of the current and potential future applications of eculizumab, as well as the disadvantages of eculizumab treatment in patients with C5 polymorphisms.
