Résumé

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) occurs in 40%-50% of alemtuzumab-treated persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), most of whom will develop Graves' Disease (GD). To explore contributory factors for alemtuzumab-related AITD in pwMS. A retrospective patient chart review was performed. Sixteen out of 52 (30.8%) pwMS developed AITD. GD occurred in 56.3% ( Alemtuzumab-induced reconstitution GD may result from early and increased cross-reactivity between antigens common to the brainstem and thyroid, or presence of shared Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles that determine brainstem and thyroid involvement. We suggest cautious use of alemtuzumab in younger (≤32 years) pwMS with early brainstem involvement, especially those actively planning pregnancy, where alternative therapies are readily available.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) occurs in 40%-50% of alemtuzumab-treated persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), most of whom will develop Graves' Disease (GD).
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
To explore contributory factors for alemtuzumab-related AITD in pwMS.
METHODS METHODS
A retrospective patient chart review was performed.
RESULTS RESULTS
Sixteen out of 52 (30.8%) pwMS developed AITD. GD occurred in 56.3% (
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Alemtuzumab-induced reconstitution GD may result from early and increased cross-reactivity between antigens common to the brainstem and thyroid, or presence of shared Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles that determine brainstem and thyroid involvement. We suggest cautious use of alemtuzumab in younger (≤32 years) pwMS with early brainstem involvement, especially those actively planning pregnancy, where alternative therapies are readily available.
