Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system characterized by recurrent, disabling attacks that affect the optic nerve, spinal cord, and brain/brainstem. While rituximab, targeting CD20-positive B-cells, is used as an off-label therapy for NMOSD, some patients continue to exhibit breakthrough attacks and/or adverse reactions. Inebilizumab, a humanized and glycoengineered monoclonal antibody targeting CD19-positive B-cells, has been FDA approved for the treatment of NMOSD in adult patients who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive. Given the limited real-world data on the efficacy and safety of inebilizumab, especially in those transitioning from rituximab, a retrospective chart review was conducted on 14 NMOSD patients from seven centers. Of these, 71.4% ( = 10) experienced a combined 17 attacks during rituximab treatment, attributed to either breakthrough disease ( = 10) or treatment delay ( = 7). The mean duration of rituximab treatment was 38.4 months (3.2 years). Notably, no subsequent attacks were observed during inebilizumab treatment [mean duration of inebilizumab treatment was 19.3 months (1.6 years)], underscoring its potential as an effective treatment for NMOSD. Our data suggest that inebilizumab provides clinical benefit with effective disease control and a favorable safety profile for patients transitioning from rituximab.
视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(NMOSD)是一种罕见的中枢神经系统自身免疫性疾病,其特征为反复发作的、导致功能障碍的发作,累及视神经、脊髓以及脑/脑干。虽然靶向CD20阳性B细胞的利妥昔单抗被用作NMOSD的一种非适应证治疗,但一些患者仍会出现突破性发作和/或不良反应。依奈西单抗是一种靶向CD19阳性B细胞的人源化糖工程单克隆抗体,已获美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准,用于治疗抗水通道蛋白4(AQP4)抗体阳性的成年NMOSD患者。鉴于依奈西单抗疗效和安全性的真实世界数据有限,尤其是在从利妥昔单抗转换治疗的患者中,对来自7个中心的14例NMOSD患者进行了一项回顾性病历审查。其中,71.4%(n = 10)在利妥昔单抗治疗期间共经历了17次发作,原因是突破性疾病(n = 10)或治疗延迟(n = 7)。利妥昔单抗治疗的平均持续时间为38.4个月(3.2年)。值得注意的是,在依奈西单抗治疗期间未观察到后续发作[依奈西单抗治疗的平均持续时间为19.3个月(1.6年)],这突出了其作为NMOSD有效治疗方法的潜力。我们的数据表明,依奈西单抗为从利妥昔单抗转换治疗的患者提供了临床益处,有效控制了疾病,且安全性良好。
