Background:Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare, chronic autoimmune hemolytic anemia characterized by complement-mediated hemolysis. The classical complement inhibitor sutimlimab, is the first approved pharmacotherapy for treating patients with CAD. The second-generation complement inhibitor SAR445088 (BIVV020) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits the activated form of C1s (sutimlimab inhibits total C1s). Furthermore, SAR445088 contains mutations that increase FcRn binding, preventing its degradation and allowing it to be recycled back into the system, resulting in reduced drug clearance and a prolonged half-life, which may allow a longer dosing interval than that of sutimlimab.
