Dose, exposure, and treatment regimen of intravenous immunoglobulin G in multifocal motor neuropathy
In patients with MMN, stable dosing and consistent serum IgG levels are crucial to avoid negative responses owing to treatment interruptions. Dosing intervals more frequent than Q4W may alleviate periodic symptom deterioration. Dose splitting potentially offers flexibility for patients requiring large volumes of IVIG without negatively affecting serum IgG PK, while maintaining treatment efficacy. Variability in serum IgG levels between patients suggests that individualizing IVIG treatment regimens and target IgG levels may play a key role in managing MMN.
