Efgartigimod restores muscle function in a humanized mouse model of immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy

Efgartigimod reduces circulating IgG levels, including pathogenic anti-HMGCR+ IgG aAbs, in a humanized mouse model of IMNM, preventing further necrosis and allowing muscle fibre regeneration. These results support investigating the therapeutic efficacy of efgartigimod through a clinical trial in IMNM patients.
