Study description

The overall research questions for this study are: 1) What are the demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of a population of patients who initiate inebilizumab in real-world practice? 2) What are inebilizumab treatment patterns in the first 12 months following treatment initiation? 3) What is the incidence of adverse events of special interest (AESI) in the first 12 months following treatment initiation?

Specific objectives are:
• To describe demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics of patients at the time of first inebilizumab treatment
• To describe inebilizumab treatment patterns in the first 12 months following treatment initiation in terms of dosing, duration of treatment, frequency of drug discontinuation, switching, and use of add-on therapies
• To quantify the incidence of AESI, including serious infections, opportunistic infections, hepatitis B reactivations, serious infusion related reactions, and malignancies.

Analyses will be performed in the overall study population and in sub-groups of special interest: patients concomitantly receiving other immunosuppressive agents and patients aged >65 years at index date.
