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.

Efficacy and safety of telitacicept therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus with hematological involvement
Clin Rheumatol. 2024 May 20 doi: 10.1007/s10067-024-06992-7. Epub ahead of print
This real-world combination of telitacicept and standard treatment demonstrated significant improvements in anaemia, as well as increased leukocyte and platelet levels in patients with SLE and haematological involvement. Here, investigators sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in combination with standard treatment in SLE patients specifically with haematological involvement.
