依库珠单抗靶向治疗难治性肾小球硬化合并血管炎:从机制验证到临床转化的单中心案例

Eculizumab-Targeted Therapy for Refractory Glomerulosclerosis Complicated with Vasculitis: A Single-Center Case from Mechanism Validation to Clinical Translation

  • 摘要: 本病例报道依库珠单抗治疗难治性局灶性节段性肾小球硬化(focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,FSGS)合并嗜酸性肉芽肿性血管炎(eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis,EGPA)的疗效。某中年男性患者确诊肾病综合征,数年后进展为FSGS,经传统免疫抑制方案(激素、钙调磷酸酶抑制剂、利妥昔单抗等)治疗仍持续大量蛋白尿(24小时尿蛋白>10.00 g)。基于患者补体终末通路强效活化证据末端补体复合物(terminal complement complex,C5b-9)为317.56 ng·mL-1,超上限30%及肾小球内皮损伤特征,采用依库珠单抗靶向阻断C5裂解(阻断经典、凝集素、旁路3条途径的共同终末步骤):诱导期每周900 mg,持续4周;维持期每2周900 mg,持续2周(基于患者情况,实际给药间隔略有波动,但总剂量累计8 100 mg),联合小剂量泼尼松(20 mg·d-1)控制辅助性T细胞2(T helper cell 2,Th2)炎症。患者治疗4周后24小时尿蛋白下降83.65%(16.27 g降至2.66 g),血肌酐恢复正常(166 μmol·L-1降至80 μmol·L-1),估算肾小球滤过率(estimated glomerular filtration rate,eGFR)提升139.66%41.1 mL·min-1.(1.73 m2-1升至98.5mL·min-1 (.1.73 m2-1,补体活化标志物及炎症因子显著下降。结果表明,采用依库珠单抗靶向阻断补体C5,可有效逆转FSGS相关肾损伤,为传统治疗无效者提供新的治疗方向。抗凝、感染预防及肾脏保护药物贯穿治疗全程实现多重风险管理,为复杂肾病多维度管理提供参考。

     

    Abstract: This case report details the efficacy of eculizumab in treating refractory focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) complicated by eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). A middle-aged male presented with nephrotic syndrome, which progressed to FSGS several years later. Despite conventional immunosuppressive regimens (including corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and rituximab), persistent massive proteinuria (24-hour urine protein > 10.00 g) remained. Based on robust evidence of terminal complement pathway activation (C5b-9 level: 317.56 ng·mL-1, exceeding the upper limit by 30%) and features of glomerular endothelial injury, the patient received targeted therapy with eculizumab to block C5 cleavage (inhibiting the common terminal step of the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways). The dosing regimen comprised: an induction phase (900 mg weekly for 4 weeks) followed by a maintenance phase (900 mg every 2 weeks for 2 weeks; with slight variations in intervals based on clinical status; cumulative dose: 8 100 mg), combined with low-dose prednisone (20 mg·d-1) to control T helper cell 2 (Th2)-driven inflammation. After 4 weeks of treatment, the patient achieved an 83.65% reduction in 24-hour urine protein (from 16.27 g to 2.66 g), normalization of serum creatinine (decreased from 166 μmol·L-1 to 80 μmol·L-1), and a 139.66% increase in estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR,from 41.1 mL·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 to 98.5 mL·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1. Complement activation markers and inflammatory cytokines were significantly reduced. The results indicate that targeted blockade of complement C5 with eculizumab can effectively reverse FSGS-associated renal injury, offering a new therapeutic direction for patients who are refractory to conventional treatment. Comprehensive risk management, including anticoagulation, infection prophylaxis, and renal protective medications, was implemented throughout the treatment course, providing valuable insights for multidimensional management of complex nephropathy.
