Graves’ orbitopathy caused by alemtuzumab: a case series

Mendez Muros Mariola , Jesus Garcia Gonzalez Juan , Cuadrado Alberto Torres , Manuel Garrido Hermosilla Antonio

Introduction: Alemtuzumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting the CD52 glycoprotein, which is expressed by most mature leucocytes. In early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) alentuzumab effectively decreases relapse rate and disability progression. However, nearly 50% of the pacients treated with alentuzumab develop secondary autoimmune disorders, being Graves’ disease the most common. The development of thyroid eye disease is unusual.Aims ...

Rodriguez de Vera Gomez Pablo , Manuel Garrido Hermosilla Antonio , Mendez Muros Mariola , Javier Toyos Saenz de Miera Francisco , Lopez Ruiz Rocio , Martin Hernandez Tomas

Objectives: To identify risk factors for the development of Graves’ Orbitopathy (GO) in patients with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) treated with Alemtuzumab, as well as to analyze the clinical behavior of this entity based on a case series.Methods: Retrospective observational study with real-life data. Patients with RRMS who received at least one cycle of Alemtuzumab in the period 2014-2022 in aMS reference unit in Spain were include...

Pituitary adenomas are usually benign. However, a significant number of pituitary adenomas show an aggressive behaviour, with local invasion, increased risk of recurrence after surgery and lack of therapeutic response. In this study, we aimed to determine whether invasive and non-invasive pituitary adenomas display differences in clinical features and molecular parameters. In this retrospective descriptive study, 46 pituitary adenomas were analysed. Invasiveness was defined as...
