INDIGO: Switching B Cells Off, Not Out, in IgG4-Related Disease

B-cell targeting has moved to the centre of IgG4-related disease treatment, with inebilizumab, a CD19 depleter, as the recent benchmark. At EULAR 2026, INDIGO tested whether the disease can be controlled by switching B cells off rather than depleting them.

Abstr LB0004 CC312 is a CD19/CD3/CD28 tri-specific T cell engager and sustains SRI-4 responses beyond one year with rapid, deep B-cell depletion in autoimmune diseases. Not CAR-T. Not a conventional biologic. A T cell engager that redirects your own immune cells to deplete B https://t.co/rTs3Rg7BPe

Immune Dimming or Immune Reset in RA: How Far Should We Go?

CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy has rapidly moved into autoimmune disease, driven in large part by striking reports in SLE, where sustained drug-free remission has raised the possibility of a true immune reset. In RA, where multiple effective therapeutic classes already exist, the relevance of
