ARGX-117, a therapeutic complement inhibiting antibody targeting C2

Inge Van de Walle et al.

Summary: ARGX-117 is a promising new complement inhibitor that uniquely targets both the classical and lectin pathways by binding to the Sushi-2 domain of C2. It prevents complement-mediated cytotoxicity in in vitro models for autoimmune hemolytic anemia and antibody-mediated rejection of organ transplants.

How I treat cold agglutinin disease

Sigbjorn Berentsen

Summary: Significant progress has been made in the treatment of CAD in recent decades, with recommendations mainly based on nonrandomized trials and personal experience due to the lack of comparative trials. Individualized treatment options tailored to patients' symptoms and disease characteristics are crucial to avoid ineffective therapies.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemias

Sigbjorn Berentsen et al.

Summary: AIHA is a group of diseases characterized by increased destruction of red cells through autoimmune mechanisms, and recent advancements in diagnosis and treatment have been made. Challenges include wider application of current knowledge, improved understanding of pathogenesis, development of new therapies, and management of refractory cases. Each individual disorder within the AIHA group should be addressed according to their unique differences in cause, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation.
