Systemic Lupus Erythematosus | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2025
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems of the body. SLE symptoms range from general malaise to serious CNS and renal manifestations. Hydroxychloroquine, corticosteroids, and conventional immunosuppressants are the mainstay treatments for SLE. Unfortunately, many patients with SLE fail to respond to these therapies and/or experience significant adverse events. Clinicians may then prescribe other available agents, such as the biologics Benlysta (GlaxoSmithKline), Saphnelo (AstraZeneca), Rituxan (Roche; off-label), and Orencia (BMS; off-label) or the novel calcineurin inhibitor Lupkynis (Aurinia). This content gives manufacturers of current treatments and developers of novel SLE agents insight into the use of SLE drugs and market trends in the SLE space.
