Clinical trial outcomes for SLE: what we have and what we need
The paradigm of drug approval in SLE currently relies on successful large phase III randomised controlled trials and a set of primary, secondary and additional end points. Taken together, these outcomes offer a nuanced understanding of the efficacy and safety of the investigational agent. In this review, we thoroughly examine the main outcomes used in SLE trials and highlight unmet ...

Real-world treatment patterns in patients with systemic lupus ...
Objective To assess treatment patterns and the association between long-term glucocorticoid (GC) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) use and damage accrual in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods A retrospective study including patients with SLE using the computerised database of a large health maintenance organisation. Patients were matched with subjects from the general population.
Ultimately, the DORIS Task Force recommended a single definition of remission in SLE, based on clinical systemic lupus erythematosus disease activitiy index (SLEDAI)=0, Evaluator’s Global Assessment <0.5 (0–3), prednisolone 5 mg/day or less, and stable antimalarials, immunosuppressives, and biologics. Conclusion The 2021 DORIS definition of ...
Mezagitamab in systemic lupus erythematosus: clinical and …
Objective To evaluate safety and mechanism of action of mezagitamab (TAK-079), an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, in patients with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods A phase 1b double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study was conducted in patients with SLE receiving standard background therapy. Eligible patients were adults who met the 2012 SLICC or ACR ...
Effects of systemic lupus erythematosus on the brain: a systematic ...
Background Cognitive dysfunction (CD) is highly prevalent in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Neuroimaging utilising advanced MRI metrics may yield mechanistic insights. We conducted a systematic review of neuroimaging studies to investigate the relationship between structural and diffusion MRI metrics and CD in SLE. Methods We ...
LO-017 Zetomipzomib (KZR-616) demonstrates anti-inflammatory …
Background Zetomipzomib is a first-in-class selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome that offers anti-inflammatory properties without significant immunosuppression.1 2 Methods The MISSION study is a Phase 1b/2, open-label study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy of zetomipzomib in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) ± lupus nephritis (LN). The ...
Clinical implications of discordance between anti-dsDNA …
Objective Anti-dsDNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA) are a component of all classification schemes in SLE and comprise one of the domains in validated activity indices. Anti-dsDNA is frequently measured commercially by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or Crithidia luciliae immunofluorescence test (CLIFT). To address the clinical impact of measuring these antibodies by two different assays, this study ...
