TYK2: An emerging therapeutic target in rheumatic disease
Nat Rev Rheumatol 2024;20(4):232–40 DOI 10.1038/s41584-024-01093-w
TYK2 inhibitors hold promise for the treatment of a distinct spectrum of autoimmune diseases, including SLE, and could potentially have a safety profile that differs from other JAK inhibitors.
Evaluation of RNase Therapy in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Randomised Phase 2a Clinical Trial of RSLV-132
Lupus Sci Med. 2024;11:e001113 DOI 10.1136/lupus-2023-001113
Treatment with RSLV-132 was associated with lower rates of SAEs than placebo, although RSLV-132 therapy was not associated with a significant improvement in the mean CLASI score relative to placebo. However, results suggest that further evaluations of RSLV-132 in SLE should be undertaken with patients with more active disease who are most likely to benefit from RNase therapy.
