Nipocalimab, an immunoselective neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blocker, is designed to target and reduce pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies associated with Sjögren's disease while preserving immune function New exploratory analysis of Phase 2 study data shows a strong correlation between autoantibody levels and even greater clinical response rates of participants in the nipocalimab treatment group Previously reported data from the Phase 2 study showed nipocalimab reduced Sjögren's disease activity and severity, with potential to address systemic manifestations and the most burdensome patient-reported symptoms including dryness, fatigue and...
