Interleukin-6 receptor blockade in treatment-refractory MOG-IgG–associated disease and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ), a humanized anti–interleukin-6 receptor antibody in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein–IgG–associated disease (MOGAD) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). METHODS: Annualized relapse rate (ARR), Expanded Disability Status Scale score, MRI, autoantibody titers, pain, and adverse events were retrospectively evaluated in 57 patients with MOGAD (n = 14), aquaporin-4 (AQP4)-IgG seropositive (n = 36), and seronegative NMOSD (n = 7; 12%), switched to TCZ from previous immunotherapies, particularly rituximab. RESULTS: Patients received TCZ for 23.8 months (median; interquartile range 13.0–51.1 months), with an IV dose of 8.0 mg/kg (median; range 6–12 mg/kg) every 31.6 days (mean; range 26–44 days). For MOGAD, the median ARR decreased from 1.75 (range 0.5–5) to 0 (range 0–0.9; p = 0.0011) under TCZ. A similar effect was seen for AQP4-IgG+ (ARR reduction from 1.5 [range 0–5] to 0 [range 0–4.2]; p < 0.001) and for seronegative NMOSD (from 3.0 [range 1.0–3.0] to 0.2 [range 0–2.0]; p = 0.031). During TCZ, 60% of all patients were relapse free (79% for MOGAD, 56% for AQP4-IgG+, and 43% for seronegative NMOSD). Disability follow-up indicated stabilization. MRI inflammatory activity decreased in MOGAD (p = 0.04; for the brain) and in AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD (p < 0.001; for the spinal cord). Chronic pain was unchanged. Regarding only patients treated with TCZ for at least 12 months (n = 44), ARR reductions were confirmed, including the subgroups of MOGAD (n = 11) and AQP4-IgG+ patients (n = 28). Similarly, in the group of patients treated with TCZ for at least 12 months, 59% of them were relapse free, with 73% for MOGAD, 57% for AQP4-IgG+, and 40% for patients with seronegative NMOSD. No severe or unexpected safety signals were observed. Add-on therapy showed no advantage compared with TCZ monotherapy. DISCUSSION: This study provides Class III evidence that long-term TCZ therapy is safe and reduces relapse probability in MOGAD and AQP4-IgG+ NMOSD

Income Diversification Through Optimization of Service Rates at Universi-tas Negeri Semarang

Improving the quality of education is a complex matter because it is related to technical problems and the planning, administration, funding, management of income sources, diversification of service rates, and effectiveness and efficiency of the education system. Semarang State University (Unnes) is one of the universities still categorized as a Public Service Agency, which is still transforming into a legal entity university (PTNBH). This study aims to determine the income from the current service tariffs, map the potential for additional revenue from available services, and analyze revenue potential by simulating new service tariffs. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptive. The study results show that the management and transparency of easily obtained university budgeting guide data will reduce the risk of budget management. Budget diversification will minimize the risk so that budget management will run more effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, it is known that the service tariffs that have been in effect so far are considered not optimal and can still be developed into the potential for diversifying the Institution's income. That makes it possible to enter work contracts with external parties to optimize revenue potential and better quality management
