Disclosed herein are methods for treating patients that may develop or already have pre-existing gene therapy neutralizing antibodies by administering an agent that blocks, inhibits or reduces the interaction between immunoglobulin G (IgG) and the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), such as an anti-FcRn antibody, to reduce IgG recycling and enhance IgG clearance in vivo. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing agents that reduce interaction of IgG with FcRn for gene therapy treatment of a disease in a patient in need thereof. |
