In this issue of , Fakhouri et al provide evidence in a prospective phase 4, multicentric, noncontrolled study that discontinuing eculizumab is safe in most patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) once they achieve complete remission. Risk of relapse was <25% overall, but as high as 50% in patients with a rare variant in at least 1 complement gene.
本期 中,Fakhouri 等人提供了一项前瞻性、多中心、非对照研究的证据,表明大多数非典型溶血性尿毒症综合征(aHUS)患者在完全缓解后停用依库珠单抗是安全的。总体复发风险<25%,但至少有 1 种补体基因突变的罕见变异患者复发风险高达 50%。
