Abstract
Pemphigus is a debilitating autoimmune blistering disorder mediated by IgG autoantibodies to desmosomal cadherins that requires novel steroid-sparing therapies. In this phase 1b/2 trial reported by Werth et al. (2021), the FcRn inhibitor ALXN1840 induced rapid and sustained clinical improvement in patients with chronic, active, refractory pemphigus. FcRn inhibition is a promising new approach to the treatment of pemphigus and other autoantibody-mediated autoimmune disorders.
