Pivotal Trial

Summary

This trial tests if inebilizumab, an IV medication, can prevent flare-ups in patients with IgG4-RD who are at high risk. It works by reducing immune cells that cause inflammation and damage.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with IgG4-Related Disease affecting at least two organs and needing glucocorticoid treatment can join. They must meet specific criteria, use effective contraception if of childbearing potential, and not have used certain drugs or had live vaccines recently. Those with recent malignancies or severe kidney issues are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Inebilizumab's ability to prevent flares in IgG4-Related Disease compared to a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo to assess effectiveness and safety.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects for Inebilizumab aren't specified here, similar medications may cause infusion reactions, infections due to immune system suppression, allergic responses, and possible impact on liver or kidney function.

Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
The most common treatments for IgG4-Related Disease, such as inebilizumab, work by depleting B cells through targeting CD19. B cells are a type of white blood cell that can produce antibodies, including those involved in autoimmune responses. By depleting B cells, these treatments reduce the production of harmful antibodies, thereby decreasing inflammation and preventing disease flares. This mechanism is crucial for patients with IgG4-Related Disease as it directly addresses the underlying immune dysfunction, leading to better disease control and improved quality of life.
