Dall’Era et al. conducted a propensity analysis to compare voclosporin-based triple immunosuppressive therapy with high-dose GC-based regimens for active LN. Voclosporin showed fewer AEs, improved safety, and significantly reduced proteinuria over six months, suggesting a superior risk-benefit profile for patients with lupus nephritis.
The study utilised data from Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials and the Aspreva Lupus Management Study to compare safety and efficacy outcomes of voclosporin with high-dose GCs and mycophenolate mofetil or intravenous cyclophosphamide. The aim was to assess proteinuria reduction and safety within six months
