B-cell Inhibitors Overview

B-cell inhibitors are therapeutic agents that modulate B lymphocytes, which play a central role in immune response and antibody production. They include drugs targeting molecules like CD-20, Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), PI3Kδ, CD-19, BAFF/BLyS, and APRIL, among others, to reduce B-cell activity in diseases such as B-cell lymphomas and autoimmune disorders.

 

B-cell inhibitors work through several mechanisms, including depleting B cells by binding to proteins like CD-20, blocking signaling pathways such as BTK, and inhibiting survival factors like BLyS and APRIL. These actions help control B-cell activity and prevent abnormal immune responses.

 

These inhibitors are crucial in managing B-cell cancers, renal disorders, autoimmune diseases as well as some hematological disorders, where abnormal B-cell activity leads to inflammation and tissue damage.

B-cell Inhibitors in Clinical Practice 

This section will give in depth information about the existing local and systemic options in the current treatment paradigm of all the potential indications, in which most of the pharmaceutical companies are actively evaluating their inhibitors. Potential of the emerging B-cell Inhibitors in changing the current clinical practice guidelines is crucial to analyze especially when it comes to real world scenario.

 

It will also include the relevance and importance of incorporation of biomarker testing at varying stages of the disease. It is also important to understand that implementing such tests in routine clinical practice is not uniform in different countries due to issues such as cost, accessibility, reimbursement and non-recommendation in guidelines.

B-cell Inhibitors Marketed Drugs

 

OCREVUS (ocrelizumab) 

OCREVUS is a CD20-targeted cytolytic monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment of autoimmune conditions classified under relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. This includes clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), and active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) in adults. It is also approved for the treatment of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) in adults.

 

The exact mechanisms by which OCREVUS produces its therapeutic benefits in relapsing and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis are not completely understood. However, it is believed to function primarily through immunomodulatory effects, achieved by selectively targeting and binding to CD20-positive B cells.

 

OCREVUS received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 28, 2017, for the treatment of both relapsing and primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. This marked it as the first therapy ever approved for primary progressive MS. OCREVUS ZUNOVO, a subcutaneous injection formulation of ocrelizumab, was approved in September 2024.

 

BENLYSTA (belimumab)

BENLYSTA is an intravenous and subcutaneously administered, fully-humanized monoclonal antibody that binds and inactivates B-lymphocyte stimulator (a cytokine expressed by B-cell lineage cells that activate B-cells and stimulate their proliferation and differentiation), inhibiting B-lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation. 

 

It is the first and only biologic approved for the treatment of both Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)—a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the kidneys—and lupus nephritis, the kidney inflammation associated with lupus. The drug received regulatory approvals as follows: United States – in 2020 for adults and 2022 for pediatric patients; European Union – in 2021; and Japan – also in 2021.

 

TAVALISSE (fostamatinib)

TAVALISSE (fostamatinib) is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment. 

 

TAVALISSE is an oral spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor that targets the underlying autoimmune cause of the disease by impeding platelet destruction, providing an important new treatment option for adult patients with chronic ITP.

 

B-cell Inhibitors Emerging Drugs

 

Rilzabrutinib: Sanofi 

Rilzabrutinib is an investigational, oral, reversible BTK inhibitor developed using Sanofi’s TAILORED COVALENCY technology, offering selective BTK inhibition with reduced off-target effects. It has potential as a first- and best-in-class treatment for multiple immune-mediated diseases, including warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) and IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), both of which currently lack approved therapies. 

 

Rilzabrutinib has received orphan drug designation in the US for wAIHA and IgG4-RD. It is also under regulatory review in the US and EU for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), with a FDA decision expected by August 29, 2025. Additionally, it has ODD for ITP in the US, EU, and Japan, and FTD in the US.

 

KY-101: Kyverna

KYV-101 is an autologous, fully human anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy and serves as the lead clinical candidate in our cell therapy pipeline. It is being developed to treat a range of autoimmune diseases, with active clinical programs in both rheumatology and neurology. Ongoing trials include Phase II studies for stiff person syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and myasthenia gravis, as well as a Phase I/II trial for systemic sclerosis. Additionally, KYV-101 is being evaluated in two multicenter, open-label Phase I/II trials in the United States and Germany for patients with lupus nephritis.

 

The therapy has received several regulatory designations that underscore its potential and support its accelerated development. These include FTD for lupus nephritis, myasthenia gravis, and multiple sclerosis; RMAT designation; and ODD in both the U.S. and EU for lupus nephritis and systemic sclerosis.

 

MB-106: Mustangbio  

Mustang Bio, in partnership with Fred Hutch, is advancing MB-106, a CD20-targeted CAR T therapy, initially aimed at treating hematologic malignancies and now pivoting toward autoimmune diseases. 

 

As of March 2025, 73 patients have been treated in ongoing Phase I clinical trials, demonstrating a favorable safety profile and high response rates, including a 90% overall response rate in Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Despite these promising results, Mustang closed its own MB-106 trials in mid-2024 due to funding limitations. The clinical development of MB-106 will now focus solely on autoimmune indications, with a Phase I investigator-sponsored trial at Fred Hutch planned for initiation in late 2025. This strategic shift underscores a resource-driven realignment while maintaining development momentum in a promising therapeutic domain.

 

In March 2024, MB-106 was granted the RMAT designation by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory CD20-positive WM and FL
