Active Ingredient

Efgartigimod alfa is a human IgG1 antibody fragment engineered for increased affinity to the neonatal Fc Receptor (FcRn). Efgartigimod alfa binds to FcRn, resulting in a reduction in the levels of circulating IgG including pathogenic IgG autoantibodies. Efgartigimod alfa does not affect the levels of other immunoglobulins (IgA, IgD, IgE or IgM), or those of albumin.
