Efgartigimod alfa has not been associated with elevations in serum aminotransferase levels or with cases of clinically apparent liver injury.</p></div><div id="Efgartigimod.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Efgartigimod alfa (ef” gar tig’ i mod) is a modified, recombinant human IgG1 Fc fragment that binds to the neonatal Fc receptor site on cell surface membranes and prevents immunoglobulin G (IgG) recycling, thus increasing rates of IgG degradation without affecting its production or function. Efgartigimod decreases levels of IgG in the circulation which particularly affects autoantibody levels. Efgartigimod has been evaluated as therapy of several autoimmune diseases but was initially approved only for adults with myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disease which is characterized by autoantibodies to the acetylcholine receptor. These autoantibodies block acetylcholine neurotransmission and result in weakness in skeletal muscles, particularly those of the eye, face, throat, and limbs. Myasthenia gravis is typically treated with anticholinesterases which prolonged acetylcholine actions, but which are usually only partly effective. Other agents used off label include corticosteroids, azathioprine, tacrolimus, methotrexate, and rituximab. Eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody to complement factor 5, was approved for use in refractory myasthenia gravis in 2017. Efgartigimod alfa was evaluated in adults with refractory myasthenia gravis and found to lead to improvements in muscle function in a high proportion of patients. Efgartigimod alfa was granted accelerated approval for use in myasthenia gravis in the United States in 2021. Current indications are limited to adults who are positive for anti-acetylcholine antibodies (found in 80 to 90% of patients). Efgartigimod alfa is available in solution in single dose vials of 400 mg/20 mL [20 mg/mL] under the brand name Vyvgart. The recommended dose regimen is 10 mg/kg given iv over one hour once weekly for 4 weeks, with further 4-week cycles based upon efficacy and tolerance. In 2023, the combination of efgartigimod alfa with hyaluronidase, which allows for subcutaneous administration, was approved for the same indication, available in single dose vials of 1008 mg of efgartigimod alfa and 11,200 units of hyaluronidase under the brand name Vyvgart Hytrulo. The recommended regimen is one vial given sc in cycles of once weekly for 4 weeks. Common side effects of efgartigimod alfa include headaches, urinary and respiratory tract infections, myalgia, paresthesia, and hematologic adverse reactions. Uncommon but potentially serious adverse events included infusion reactions, hypersensitivity reactions and infections. The two formulations of efgartigimod alfa have similar profiles of adverse events except for types of injection site reactions.</p></div><div id="Efgartigimod.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In the registration studies submitted in support of approval of efgartigimod alfa, there were no serum <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.alanine-aminotransferase-alt-/">ALT</a> or <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.aspartate-aminotransferase-ast-/">AST</a> elevations above 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and no patient developed serum enzyme elevations and jaundice or evidence of clinically apparent liver injury. Since its approval and more widespread use including controlled trials of both intravenous and subcutaneous forms of efgartigimod, there has been no reports of clinically apparent liver injury attributed to their use.</p><p><a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.likelihood-score/">Likelihood score</a>: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Efgartigimod.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which efgartigimod alfa alone or in combination with hyaluronidase might cause liver injury is unknown. Efgartigimod alfa is a polypeptide and is metabolized by proteolysis into individual amino acids in cells. Efgartigimod alfa is not metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system and has not been associated with drug-drug interactions. Possible exceptions, however, might be agents that can bind to the human neonatal Fc receptor such as monoclonal antibodies and immunoglobulin products.</p></div><div id="Efgartigimod.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Efgartigimod alfa and efgartigimod alfa/hyaluronidase have not been implicated in significant serum aminotransferase elevations or instances of acute liver injury. While minor elevations in serum enzymes may occur during therapy, these are generally transient, asymptomatic, and most likely unrelated to treatment .</p><p>Drug Class: Myasthenia Agents</p><p>Other Drugs in for Myasthenia Gravis: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Eculizumab/">Eculizumab</a>, Pyridostigmine</p></div></div><div id="Efgartigimod.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Efgartigimod_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
