Appendicitis and multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies: a disproportionality analysis of the FDA adverse event reporting system

Article

Author: Balshi, Alexandra ; Esser, Madelyn ; Baber, Ursela ; Dempsey, John P ; Sloane, Jacob A

BACKGROUND:

Although appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies and is related to immune function, its relation to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) is unclear.

OBJECTIVE:

To determine which, if any, MS DMTs are associated with disproportionally high appendicitis reporting using real-world data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

RESULTS:

We identified 965 reports of appendicitis associated with MS DMTs. A pooled analysis of all DMTs showed disproportionately high appendicitis reporting compared to all other FAERS medications (reporting odds ratio, 2.83; 95% confidence interval, 2.63-3.06; χ (Bhangu et al., 2015), 787.54). Ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, natalizumab, alemtuzumab, dimethyl and diroximel fumarate, cladribine, and peg- and interferon beta-1a all individually exhibited disproportionally high appendicitis reporting.

CONCLUSION:

Patient counseling on early appendicitis warning signs and indications for urgent evaluation may be warranted for people with MS on DMTs.

Single-cell transcriptomic mendelian randomization and co-localization reveal immune-mediated regulatory mechanisms and drug targets in atopic dermatitis

Article

Author: Gong, Ting ; Xiang, Niu ; Tong, Zequn ; Ji, Chao ; Li, Weixing ; Cheng, Bo ; Zou, Ying ; Xu, Qiuyun ; Zhao, XiaoYan ; Zhou, Kunli ; Cai, Liangqi

BACKGROUND:

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with increasing prevalence; however, the underlying immune mechanisms remain poorly understood. Precision therapeutics have shown promise, yet significant unmet clinical needs remain. Single-cell expression quantitative trait loci (sc-eQTL) combined with genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and mendelian randomization (MR) can provide cell-type-specific causal evidence for immune mechanisms in complex diseases METHODS: We integrated sc-eQTL data from 14 immune cell types (OneK1K cohort, n = 982) with AD GWAS summary statistics from FinnGen (n = 31,245) and GWAS Catalog (n = 22,474). We performed two-sample MR using inverse variance weighting and Wald ratio methods, with MR-Egger, MR-PRESSO, and Steiger directionality tests ensuring robustness. Co-localization analysis confirmed shared causal variants, and functional enrichment analyses explored candidate gene mechanisms.

RESULTS:

We identified 14 immune cell-specific hub genes (CD52, CD4 NC, IL2RA, TNF, HLA-DQB2, and others) with strong co-localization evidence (PP·H4 > 0.7). Enrichment analysis revealed significant clustering in MHC class II protein complexes and (e.g., HLA-DR, HLA-DP, HLA-DQ) and partially in TNF and MHC-I classes like HLAC. Pathway analysis indicated significant enrichment in immune-related pathways, including asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. Additionally, 46 drugs targeting these genes were identified, with 13 causal genes overlapping with known druggable targets, such as alemtuzumab (CD52), daclizumab (IL2RA), and TNF inhibitors.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our study provides genetic evidence supporting a causal role for immune cell-specific genes in AD susceptibility. The 14 hub genes and associated druggable targets establish a foundation for precision immunotherapy development in AD.

B cell tolerance checkpoint function in multiple sclerosis and transient CD52 depletion

Article

Author: Stathopoulos, Panos ; Karadima, Georgia ; O'Connor, Kevin C ; Kilidireas, Konstantinos ; Vakrakou, Aglaia G ; Tzanetakos, Dimitrios ; Michaletou, Chrysoula ; Anagnostouli, Maria ; Baltoumas, Fotis ; Tzanoudaki, Marianna ; Dalakas, Marinos C ; Stefanis, Leonidas ; Zografou, Chrysoula ; Pavlopoulos, Georgios ; Alexaki, Anastasia ; Kyriakaki, Galini ; Dame, Theodoros

Transient CD52 immune cell depletion with the monoclonal antibody alemtuzumab is highly effective in treating relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis but often leads to secondary autoimmunity. Whether these effects are linked to an alteration of B cell tolerance mechanisms is currently not known. To evaluate peripheral B cell tolerance checkpoint integrity in patients and controls, we constructed 138 recombinant mAbs from single mature naïve B cells and tested their poly- and autoreactivity. We examined three healthy donors (HDs), three immunotherapy-naïve MS patients, and six patients treated with alemtuzumab at comparable time points post-treatment (mean ± SD 3.8 ± 0.39 years). Moreover, we investigated B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire parameters associated with tolerance mechanisms in the same subject groups. Polyreactive and autoreactive fraction means did not differ significantly among the three subgroups. Presence of a high or low autoreactive fraction of naïve B cells in patients treated with alemtuzumab did not correlate with secondary autoimmunity at the time of sampling and with future MS activity, and therefore most likely reflects stochastic variation in the context of immune reconstitution. In BCR repertoire analysis, alemtuzumab-treated patients showed lower mean naïve complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) net charge compared to HDs (P = 0.0036), an interesting yet isolated finding warranting further investigation. Overall, transient CD52 depletion did not seem to affect major changes in peripheral B cell tolerance checkpoint function as assessed with naïve B cell cloning and BCR NGS, while observations in the described setting may also apply to other immune reconstitution therapies.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Market Poised for Phenomenal Expansion in the US at a CAGR of 24.5% During the Forecast Period (2025-2034) | DelveInsight

The hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis market is expected to increase due to the launch of emerging therapies, such as plonmarlimab (TJ Biopharma), ELA026 (Electra Therapeutics), MAS825 (Novartis), tadekinig alfa (r-hIL-18BP) (AB2 Bio), and others, as well as label expansions of current therapies. This is because of the higher patient burden, approval of newer therapies with high cost, and broader acceptance and availability of newly approved therapies. LAS VEGAS, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Market Insights report includes a comprehensive understanding of current treatment practices, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis emerging drugs, market share of individual therapies, and current and forecasted market size from 2020 to 2034, segmented into leading markets [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Market Summary The market size for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis was found to be USD 140 million in the United States in 2024. The HLH market remains highly unmet, with conventional therapies leading to high mortality (20–30% before HSCT) and only about 60% long-term survival due to toxicity, treatment failure, and relapse risk. Among the 7MM countries, there were 5,100 incident cases of HLH in the US in 2024. Leading hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis companies, such as TJ Biopharma, AB2 Bio, Electra Therapeutics, Novartis, and others, are developing new hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis treatment drugs that can be available in the hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis market in the coming years. The promising hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis therapies in clinical trials include Plonmarlimab (TJM2/TJ003234), Tadekinig alfa (r-hIL-18BP), ELA026, MAS 825, and others. Discover the new hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis treatment @ Key Factors Driving the Growth of the Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Market Rising HLH Incidence: The increasing incidence of HLH, often triggered by underlying infections, autoimmune diseases, malignancies, or immuno-oncology treatments, has expanded the pool of patients needing diagnosis and therapy. Advances in Diagnostics and Early Detection: Improvements in diagnostic technologies, including genetic testing, immunologic profiling, and next-generation sequencing, enable earlier and more accurate detection of HLH. This allows timely intervention, which is critical given the rapid, life-threatening course of HLH. GAMIFANT Maintains First-in-Class Position in HLH: GAMIFANT (Sobi) remains the only approved therapy for primary HLH (since 2018) and has recently expanded its label, gaining US FDA approval in June 2025 for MAS associated with Still's disease. Following this approval, GAMIFANT has demonstrated stronger-than-projected market uptake, with double-digit growth in Constant Exchange Rates (CER). The company plans to pursue EU regulatory submission in 2026, indicating continued strategic expansion of its HLH and MAS portfolio. Launch of Emerging HLH Drugs: The dynamics of the HLH market are expected to change in the coming years due to the launch of emerging therapies such as plonmarlimab (TJ Biopharma), ELA026 (Electra Therapeutics), MAS825 (Novartis), tadekinig alfa (r-hIL-18BP) (AB2 Bio), and others. Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Market Analysis Management of HLH necessitates a comprehensive, multimodal strategy that integrates immunosuppressive, cytotoxic, and targeted therapies to control hyperinflammation, limit pathological immune activation, and restore immune homeostasis. Therapeutic decisions are guided by disease severity and the underlying trigger, with early, aggressive intervention essential to prevent irreversible organ damage. High-dose corticosteroids, particularly dexamethasone, constitute a foundational component of HLH treatment due to their potent anti-inflammatory effects and ability to suppress cytokine-mediated tissue injury. Etoposide-based regimens remain a cornerstone of first-line therapy, as they effectively eradicate cytotoxic lymphocytes and macrophages that are excessively activated and drive disease pathology. Immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporine are commonly employed to suppress T-cell activation and reduce cytokine release, thereby dampening immune overactivation. Targeted biologic therapies, including rituximab for EBV-associated HLH and monoclonal antibodies such as alemtuzumab or antithymocyte globulin in refractory disease, enable more selective immune modulation. When infections serve as triggering factors, concurrent antimicrobial therapy, including antivirals and antibiotics, is critical to address both the precipitating cause and the downstream inflammatory cascade. Collectively, these treatment approaches aim to achieve disease stabilization and control, allowing eligible patients to proceed to definitive curative options such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). GAMIFANT demonstrated strong commercial momentum in Q3 2025, generating USD 66.6 million in revenue, a 98% year-over-year increase. Revenue growth was driven by rising patient adoption, a favorable product mix, and the successful U.S. launch for macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in Still's disease, making GAMIFANT the first approved therapy for both pediatric and adult patients. This milestone highlights GAMIFANT's broader applicability across the HLH–MAS disease spectrum and reinforces its long-term growth potential. Regulatory momentum remains positive, while active compassionate-use programs in Europe continue to reflect sustained clinician demand. Looking ahead, GAMIFANT revenues are expected to grow at a low double-digit CAGR at constant exchange rates, supported by global market expansion, improved patient access, and continued uptake across both MAS and HLH indications. Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Competitive Landscape The pipeline of HLH is very scarce, with only three emerging therapies: plonmarlimab (TJ Biopharma), ELA026 (Electra Therapeutics), MAS825 (Novartis), and tadekinig alfa (r-hIL-18BP) (AB2 Bio). Despite all being in late-stage development, this underscores the scarcity of therapeutic innovation in this space. AB2 Bio's Tadekinig alfa is an innovative recombinant human IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) that neutralizes IL-18, a key pro-inflammatory cytokine. Under normal physiological conditions, endogenous IL-18BP is present in excess, maintaining circulating free IL-18 at undetectable levels. In certain autoinflammatory disorders, this regulatory balance is disrupted, leading to elevated systemic free IL-18 and severe pathological hyperinflammation. Tadekinig alfa re-establishes this balance by sequestering excess free IL-18, thereby attenuating inflammatory responses. This mechanism represents a novel and promising therapeutic strategy for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases characterized by elevated systemic IL-18 levels. The therapy is currently being evaluated in a Phase III clinical trial. Electra Therapeutics' ELA026 is a monoclonal antibody developed to treat severe inflammatory diseases driven by dysregulated myeloid cells and T-lymphocytes. It selectively and rapidly depletes the circulating inflammatory myeloid cells and T cells responsible for disease pathology, while preserving the CD47/SIRPα immune checkpoint pathway. ELA026 is presently in Phase II/III clinical development. The anticipated launch of these emerging therapies are poised to transform the hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth. Discover more about the hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis drugs @ Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Drugs Market Recent Developments in the Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Market In October 2025, Electra Therapeutics announced that the first patients had been dosed in the SURPASS study, a pivotal Phase II/III clinical trial evaluating ELA026, the first investigational therapy designed to broadly treat secondary HLH. In June 2025, Sobi announced that the US FDA approved emapalumab for the treatment of adult and pediatric (newborn and older) patients with HLH/MAS in known or suspected Still's disease, including sJIA, with an inadequate response or intolerance to glucocorticoids, or with recurrent MAS. What is Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis? Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare, life-threatening immune system disorder characterized by extreme and uncontrolled immune activation. In HLH, immune cells, particularly macrophages and lymphocytes, become overactive and release excessive amounts of inflammatory cytokines, leading to a "cytokine storm" that causes widespread tissue damage and organ failure. The condition can be inherited (primary HLH) due to genetic defects affecting immune regulation, or acquired (secondary HLH) and triggered by infections, malignancies, autoimmune diseases, or other immune challenges. Clinically, HLH often presents with persistent high fever, enlarged liver and spleen, cytopenias, liver dysfunction, and markedly elevated inflammatory markers. Without prompt diagnosis and treatment, HLH can rapidly progress and is frequently fatal. Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Epidemiology Segmentation The hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis epidemiology section provides insights into the historical and current hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis patient pool and forecasted trends for the leading markets. The commonest single disease entities were lymphoma, SLE, and sJIA. There has been evidence of clinically diagnosed HIV, EBV, or CMV infection either in the health record or on the death certificate in 2.3%, 8.9%, and 3.3%, respectively.

The ‘clever’ tool increasingly getting bigger biotech deals signed

Not six months ago, bankers and lawyers had significant reservations whether they could get larger biotechnology deals over the finish line.Questions around interest rates, tariff policies and the direction of the Food and Drug Administration had turned an already down biotech market into a turbulent one in which stocks would swing by the double-digits weekly sometimes daily making it even harder for buyers and sellers to agree on price.Facing such turmoil, dealmakers have made greater use out of an old tool known as contingent value rights. And the payoff is clear. Since July, at least two dozen biotech acquisitions worth $50 million or more have been signed, a boost from the first half of this year and a significant acceleration from the back half of 2024. Data compiled by BioPharma Dive show a third of those deals employed CVRs.A CVR is essentially a promise to a sellers shareholders that their payout will get bigger if the companys assets go on to hit certain milestones. In an industry as fraught as biotech, where once-promising drugs can quickly become obsolete from a single study failure or regulatory setback, CVRs act as risk mitigators.Theyre also useful for hammering out price. Buyers get to pay less initially, while sellers get affirmation about the potential worth of their medicines. Its a clever workaround, said Kevin Eisele, managing director at the investment firm William Blair.The growing popularity is illustrated in a mid-October report from Jefferies that examined biotech mergers and acquisitions worth more than half a billion dollars. The report found that not only has the number of buyouts with CVRs increased substantially in recent years, but so, too, has the proportion of the deal tied to these rights. In 2025,CVRs have, on average, accounted for 37% of the total size of those larger transactions that incorporated them, according to Jefferies.In some cases, the CVR offers a payout far higher than a deals upfront cost. Day One Biopharmaceuticals last month agreed to buy struggling cancer drug developer Mersana Therapeutics for $25 per share. But Mersana investors could take home an additional $30.25 per share from a CVR associated with the companys most advanced research program.Even more stark is Eli Lillys bid for gene therapy developer Adverum Biotechnologies, which carries a CVR that could be worth 2.5 times the upfront payment of $3.56 per share.Dennis Ding, an analyst at Jefferies, wrote how this uptick in CVR use is an added positive for biotech dealmaking, namely for companies that one could argue seem expensive despite not yet being totally derisked ahead of clinical or regulatory catalysts.Biotech M&A deals with a CVR announced in the second half of this yearBuyerTargetUpfrontCVRDay One BiopharmaceuticalsMersana Therapeutics$129MUp to $30.25PfizerMetsera$10BUp to $20.65Eli LillyAdverum Biotechnologies$75MUp to $8.91Chugai PharmaceuticalRenalys Pharma$98MUp to 16BAlkermesAvadel Pharmaceuticals$2.1BUp to $1.5Novo NordiskAkero Therapeutics$4.7BUp to $6Roche89Bio$2.4BUp to $6MannKindscPharmaceuticals$303MUp to $1SOURCE: BioPharma Dive dataDealmakers first began using CVRs in the late 1980s. These tools, as lawyers from Sidley Austin explained in a 2023 post to a prominent Harvard Law School forum, are particularly attractive during times of economic uncertainty. Thats been the case in the life sciences over the past four years, as a historic dive in the biotech stock market has left many drug developers cash-strapped and on tenterhooks.Jefferies data reflects this. In both 2015 and 2016, two $500 million-plus deals had CVRs. The following two years saw none. There were five to 10 annually between 2019 and 2022. Then, in 2023, CVRs were in 14 of the 27 deals tallied by Ding and his team.Companies need to raise capital. And in a market where thats challenging, a CVR provides a nice ability to get an upside on [an asset] you have confidence in, said Daniel Rees, a partner at Latham & Watkins who also serves as global vice chair of the firms M&A and Private Equity Practice.It's a well-trodden path, and were seeing it increase, said Latham partner Charles Ruck.Ruck added that, from his experience, there isnt much downside to a CVR. They can be complicated to structure especially if theyre related to research or sales goals, rather than a binary event like an FDA approval but hes never heard of a CVR keeping a deal from happening.They have, however, caused problems after acquisitions complete.In 2019, Sanofi forked over $315 million to former shareholders of Genzyme,a company it acquired for roughly $20 billion,to settle claims that it purposely slowed development of the multiple sclerosis drug Lemtrada to avoid paying a $7-per-share CVR.Two years later, a bank representing former Celgene investors filed a similar lawsuit against Bristol Myers Squibb, alleging the pharmaceutical giant dragged its feet trying to win approval of a cancer cell therapy that was part of a $9-per-share CVR. Had all the components of that CVR been met, Bristol Myers would have had to shell out an additional $6.4 billion.A U.S. district judge dismissed that casethis September, only for the Celgene shareholders to slap Bristol Myers with a renewed, larger lawsuitlast month.Such cases underscore that while CVRs float future payouts, sellers must have confidence that the acquirer will make a good faith attempt to hit the associated goals. Rees noted that, with a sales-based CVR, the identity of who you're selling to becomes even more important. Because you're looking at: can they achieve those sales targets that you may not be as focused on if it's just a regulatory approval.Eisele expects that CVRs, despite being a niche product just several years ago, now look poised to stick around.There's a lot of focus on discipline on both sides of the table, Eisele said. Acquirers want to show they're not overspending on targets, while the targets are under liquidity pressures from existing investors after long periods of underperformance and want to get something out of the investment.CVRs have helped bridge that gap.

First poster – Development update on eti-cel The first poster provides a development update on eti-cel product candidate (UCART20x22), an allogeneic dual CAR-T targeting CD20 and CD22 being developed in Phase 1 of the NATHALI-01 clinical trial, for patients with relapsed/refractory non Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r NHL). In addition, the poster outlines the addition of low dose interleukin-2 (IL-2) to further deepen and extend anti-tumor activity of eti-cel in patients with r/r NHL, supported by compelling preclinical data. Cellectis unveiled preliminary results on eti-cel, which demonstrate an encouraging overall response rate (ORR) of 86% and a complete response (CR) rate of 57% at the current dose level (n=7), with 4 out of 7 patients achieving a complete response. The preliminary high rate of complete responses underscores the potential of this innovative approach to transform outcomes for r/r NHL patients. Cellectis expects to present the full Phase 1 dataset for eti-cel, including low-dose IL-2 combination cohorts, in 2026. “We are excited by the progress and evolution of the eti-cel program with the addition of IL-2, which promises to build on the encouraging preliminary response rates observed in the Phase 1 program,” said Adrian Kilcoyne, MD, MPH, MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Cellectis. “We look forward to sharing the full Phase 1 dataset including the IL-2 cohorts expected in 2026.” Poster title: Trial in progress: Open-label dose-finding and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, expansion, persistence, and clinical activity of UCART20x22 in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) NATHALI-01 Presenter: Vivian Dai, Senior Director, Clinical Research Scientist at Cellectis Date/Time: December 7, 2025 at 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET Room: OCCC – West Halls B3-B4 Second poster – Correlation between alemtuzumab exposure and response with lasme-cel The second poster highlights the correlation between alemtuzumab exposure and depth of response in the difficult-to-treat patients who have received lasme-cel (UCART22) in the course of the Phase 1 of BALLI-01, a clinical trial testing this allogeneic CAR-T product candidate targeting CD22 in relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Additionally, the data identifies a threshold exposure level of alemtuzumab above which achieving a complete response/complete response with incomplete hematologic recovery (CR/CRi) is more likely without any increase in toxicities. “We strongly believe in the critical role of alemtuzumab in optimizing responses in these heavily pretreated patients,” said Adrian Kilcoyne, MD, MPH, MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Cellectis. “These data have confirmed this and demonstrated that we could further enhance the high CR/CRi and minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative rates observed in our Phase 1 program. We look forward to starting enrollment in our pivotal Phase 2 program in Q4 2025.” Poster title: Increased alemtuzumab exposure correlates with improved responses in heavily pretreated R/R ALL patients: Analysis of the BALLI-01 trial Presenter: Xenia Naj, Ph.D., Director Translational Sciences at Cellectis Date/Time: December 8, 2025, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Room: OCCC - West Halls B3-B4 These abstracts can now be accessed here About Cellectis   Cellectis is a clinical-stage biotechnology company using its pioneering gene-editing platform to develop life-saving cell and gene therapies.
