About STOBOCLO® Therapy
STOBOCLO® (obexelimab-dkmg) represents an innovative approach to treating certain autoimmune conditions. This medication is a monoclonal antibody; a type of therapeutic protein designed to work with your immune system in a precise, targeted way.
STOBOCLO® works by targetting certain immune cells (called B-cells) that become overactive in certain autoimmune conditions. STOBOCLO® works by binding to specific markers on your B-cells (specifically called CD19 and FyRIIb receptors), which help reduce their overactive activity without completely shutting down your immune symptoms.
Condition treated by this therapy
STOBOCLO® is FDA approved for the treatment of warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA)

What to Expect During STOBOCLO® Infusion Therapy
STOBOCLO® is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Your provider will prescribe the specific dosing schedule tailored to your needs, which is usually given at regular intervals. The infusion itself generally takes approximately 1-2 hours, though your first visit may take slightly longer as our team ensures your comfort and monitors your initial response to therapy.
Our experienced infusion nurses will:
- Review your current medications and how you're feeling
- Check your vital signs before starting the infusion
- Insert an IV line (usually in your arm) and begin the medication
- Monitor you closely throughout the infusion and after
- Stay nearby to address any questions or concerns
