Comment: Batoclimab (HBM9161; IMVT-1401) is a fully human anti-FcRn (FCGRT) monoclonal antibody [1]. It was developed by Harbour BioMed for the treatment of IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases.
Immunopharmacology Comments
Blocking binding of IgG-Fc to the Fc fragment of IgG receptor and transporter (FCGRT; a.k.a. neonatal Fc receptor and FcRn) accelerates degradation and clearance of circulating IgG. This is a strategy that is under investigation for potential to treat IgG-mediated autoimmune conditions by removing circulating pathogenic IgG autoantibodies.
