Executive Summary
ARGX-213 is a next-generation FcRn molecule that achieves convenient monthly dosing with sustained IgG reduction of ~75-80%, designed to extend argenx's FcRn leadership across 15+ potential indications.
ARGX-213
FcRn · Antibody (FcRn-targeting with Fc-ABDEG and alpha-albumin VHH)
Mechanism of Action[Corp '26 S21]
TypeFcRn blocker with extended half-life (Fc-ABDEG + alpha-albumin VHH)
DescriptionARGX-213 combines Fc-ABDEG technology (FcRn blocking) with an alpha-albumin VHH nanobody that binds albumin to extend the molecule's half-life, enabling sustained IgG reduction and convenient monthly dosing
DifferentiationAchieves sustained ~75-80% IgG reduction vs efgartigimod's cyclical pattern; convenient monthly dosing achieved; designed for 15+ potential indications
Target Biology[Corp '26 S21]
Like efgartigimod, ARGX-213 blocks FcRn to reduce pathogenic IgG. However, its alpha-albumin VHH component extends its half-life, enabling sustained IgG reduction with convenient monthly dosing rather than the cyclical pattern seen with efgartigimod.
