The therapeutic approach to CNS demyelination associated to ankylosing spondylitis is a complex issue due to the contraindication of TNF inhibitors in demyelinating diseases. Secukinumab, a human IgG1κ monoclonal antibody that binds and inhibits IL-17A, was recently approved for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. We report the clinical cases of two patients affected by a CNS demyelinating disease and ankylosing spondylitis who were successfully treated with secukinumab, providing additional evidence of the feasibility of this therapeutic option when the use of TNF inhibitors is discouraged by challenging comorbidities.
由于 TNF 抑制剂在脱髓鞘疾病中的禁忌,与强直性脊柱炎相关的中枢神经系统脱髓鞘的治疗方法是一个复杂的问题。司库珠单抗,一种人源 IgG1κ 单克隆抗体,可结合并抑制 IL-17A,最近被批准用于治疗强直性脊柱炎。我们报告了两名患有中枢神经系统脱髓鞘疾病和强直性脊柱炎的患者的临床病例,他们成功地接受了司库珠单抗治疗,这为在存在具有挑战性的合并症而不鼓励使用 TNF 抑制剂时,这种治疗选择的可行性提供了额外的证据。
