Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody CM313 for systemic lupus erythematosus: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase Ib/IIa trial
Signal Transduct Target Ther 2025;10:383 Doi: 10.1038/s41392-025-02487-2
Zhao et al. showed that CM313 was well tolerated in adult patients with SLE at doses of 2–16mg/kg and showed encouraging pharmacodynamic effects and preliminary efficacy at doses of 8 and 16 mg/kg QW. CM313 also produced dose-dependent and clinically meaningful improvements in key serological biomarkers of SLE.

Combination of anti-SSA/Ro60 and anti-dsDNA serotype is predictive of belimumab renal response in patients with lupus nephritis
Lupus Sci Med. 2024 May 28;11(1) doi: 10.1136/lupus-2024-001156
The combination of anti-dsDNA and anti-SSA/Ro60 serotype may help to foretell the patient’s renal response to belimumab. Investigators here aimed to explore the effectiveness of belimumab on active LN, exploring predictors, including serological biomarkers, of renal response to belimumab in a real-world setting.
