Inebilizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD19, a protein expressed on B cells. It is approved for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in adult patients who are anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive. It acts by depleting B cells involved in autoimmune pathophysiology.
Pharmacokinetic parameters were reported for adult NMOSD patients receiving intravenous inebilizumab in clinical trials.
