Dose optimalization of subcutaneous ravulizumab is predicted to yield significant savings and to improve patient friendliness.

Ravulizumab is an expensive complement C5-inhibitor for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. Recently, a subcutaneous formulation has entered the market, for which the approved dosing regimen results in supratherapeutic ravulizumab concentrations in the majority of patients in the registration studies. Therefore, we explored alternative dosing regimens in silico based on the registration data of the manufacturer. Extending the interval from 1 to 2 weeks or individualized dosing based on therapeutic drug monitoring resulted in therapeutic ravulizumab concentrations and comparable predicted efficacy in terms of lactate dehydrogenase normalization, with dose reductions up to 64%. We here show that with an individualized dose, a substantial dose reduction for subcutaneous ravulizumab might be possible with improved patient-friendliness.
