Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Bullous Pemphigoid Overview
Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is an acquired autoimmune subepidermal bullous disease in which autoantibodies are directed against the skin’s basement membrane zone components. Mainly IgG (rarely IgA, IgM, and IgE) autoantibodies bind to components of the hemidesmosome adhesion complex, the BP230, and BP180 antigens.
It is characterized by blistering, urticarial lesions (hives), and itching. Less commonly, these blisters can involve the mucous membranes, including the eyes, oral mucosa, esophagus, and genital mucosa. It typically presents in older adults as a generalized intensely itchy blistering skin condition.
Bullous Pemphigoid Diagnosis
The initial evaluation of a patient with bullous pemphigoid includes medical history, physical examination, and clinical symptoms, including affected area and number of blisters per day. Direct and Indirect Immunofluorescence microscopy tests and ELISA are some of the most common diagnostic techniques. Diagnostic delay is quite common as the usual delay is ~6 months.

Bullous Pemphigoid Treatment
Bullous pemphigoid is usually a self‐limiting disease with a clinical course that may last from months to years. During the active stage, the disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality twice that of the general elderly population. Older age at onset and frail general condition are poor prognostic factors. Many available treatments are associated with toxicity and may be poorly tolerated in patients with bullous pemphigoid. During the first year, mortality is significantly higher in patients treated with high doses of systemic corticosteroids (prednisolone equivalent >40 mg daily). Treatment should aim to control symptoms with minimum adverse effects where possible.
The therapeutic options for bullous pemphigoid are divided into anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory drugs, and procedures to remove circulating pathogenic antibodies or inflammatory mediators. The choice of treatment depends on the individual patient’s circumstances, especially the severity of the bullous pemphigoid and the presence of comorbidities.

Bullous Pemphigoid Drug Chapters
Bullous Pemphigoid Marketed Drug
Kenketu Glovenin-I (NPB-01): Nihon Pharmaceutical
Kenketu Glovenin-I for IV injection (“Kenketu Glovenin-I”) is a lyophilized powder for solution for injection containing freeze-dried polyethylene glycol-treated human normal immunoglobulin G as the active ingredient. Kenketu Glovenin-I was approved in Japan in October 1984 for the indications of agammaglobulinemia or hypogammaglobulinemia and coadministration with antibiotics for the treatment of severe infection.
The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) concluded that the efficacy of the product in treating patients with bullous pemphigoid (BP) who have not sufficiently responded to corticosteroids had been demonstrated, and its safety is acceptable given its observed benefits. In November 2015, as a result of its regulatory review, PMDA concluded that the product may be approved for the indication.

Bullous Pemphigoid Emerging Drugs
Dupilumab (Dupixent): Regeneron Pharmaceuticals/Sanofi
Dupilumab (Dupixent) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the α chain of the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor. It inhibits the biological effects of the cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, which are key drivers in the TH2 response. The company is currently evaluating dupilumab in Phase II/III clinical trial to evaluate its efficacy and safety in adult patients with bullous pemphigoid. The pivotal Phase III trial has been initiated, and regulatory filings are planned for 2023+. The safety and efficacy of dupilumab were also evaluated in a case series of 13 patients with bullous pemphigoid. In August 2019, the US FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to Dupilumab for the treatment of bullous pemphigoid.

Nomacopan: Akari Therapeutics
Nomacopan is a small recombinant protein (16,740 Da) that acts on complement component-C5, preventing the release of C5a and formation of C5b–9 (also known as the membrane attack complex, or MAC). Also, it independently inhibits leukotriene B4, or LTB4, activity, both elements that are collocated as part of the immune/inflammatory response. Nomacopan is currently clinically evaluated in four indications, bullous pemphigoid, atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC), thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) including atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT TMA), and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The Phase II study has been completed for bullous pemphigoid and planned to initiate the Phase III study in the first half of 2021. In September 2019, the US FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to Nomacopan for the treatment of bullous pemphigoid.

Bullous Pemphigoid Market Outlook
Bullous pemphigoid is a chronic disease characterized by spontaneous exacerbations. It is a self-limiting disease that may last from several months to years. Approximately 30% of bullous pemphigoid patients show a relapse during the first year of treatment with extensive disease and associated dementia as independent risk factors for relapse. Furthermore, after cessation of therapy, approximately half of the patients show a relapse, which most frequently occurs within the first 3 months. Therefore, dealing with treatments for bullous pemphigoid is based more on clinical experience or national or international guidelines than on controlled studies. While the optimal duration of therapy has not been established, patients with bullous pemphigoid usually need to be treated for approximately 6–12 months according to the presence of either mild or generalized disease.
The treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory drugs, and procedures to remove circulating pathogenic antibodies or inflammatory mediators.
For decades, systemic corticosteroids have been used and considered as the gold standard for the treatment of the disease, especially for generalized bullous pemphigoid. This therapy was demonstrated to be effective in BP in uncontrolled clinical studies during the 1950s and has become established as the mainstay of treatment. In most cases, the effect is rapid, with suppression of inflammation and blistering achieved typically within 1–4 weeks, after which the dose is gradually reduced. The most commonly used drugs are prednisone and prednisolone, which are assumed to be bioequivalent.
In patients who respond only partially to corticosteroid therapy or who develop adverse effects, non-immunosuppressive agents such as tetracyclines, erythromycin, nicotinamide, and sulfone are used as adjuvant therapy, especially in patients with mild or moderate disease. Tetracyclines and nicotinamide are also considered as treatment in adults, in combination with topical corticosteroids.
There are currently no approved drugs for bullous pemphigoid in the United States. However, in November 2015, the PMDA approved Kenketu Glovenin-I for bullous pemphigoid. The corticosteroid prednisolone was authorized in some EU countries for the treatment of bullous pemphigoid. Patients were also given medicines to suppress the immune system, such as azathioprine, to allow lower doses of corticosteroids to be used.
