The advent of novel biologics, particularly neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitors, represents a breakthrough in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. FcRn inhibitors specifically block the interaction between FcRn and IgG, thereby accelerating the degradation of pathogenic IgG and alleviating damage to target organs. Multiple high-quality clinical studies have demonstrated that FcRn inhibitors exhibit remarkable efficacy and favorable safety in various IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases. However, several challenges remain, including variability in individual therapeutic responses, and the need for optimization of dosing regimens. Future research should prioritize the following areas: structural optimization of FcRn inhibitors, expansion of the therapeutic indications, exploration of combination therapy strategies, and the development of personalized dosing regimens.

We also aim to enhance awareness and understanding of ICAS among clinical and research professionals, promote standardized patient management, and ultimately reduce the prevalence of ICAS and the subsequent risks of stroke, cognitive impairment and other clinical events, thereby improving patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":24023,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua yi xue za zhi","volume":"105 29","pages":"2449-2468"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144790215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
