Indirect treatment comparison of anifrolumab efficacy versus belimumab in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus

J Comp Eff Res. 2022;11(10):765–777 doi: 10.2217/cer-2022-0040

Population-adjusted comparative study provides insights for decision makers and clinicians about the comparative efficacy of anifrolumab and belimumab in patients with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are receiving standard therapy.

In the absence of head-to-head comparisons, Bruce, et al. assessed the comparative efficacy of the two biological therapies currently approved in the EU and USA for the treatment of moderate-to-severe SLE (anifrolumab 300 mg and belimumab 10 mg/kg).

After adjusting for important cross-trial differences, their results showed that anifrolumab was associated with significantly greater treatment benefits than belimumab.

Anifrolumab efficacy and safety by type I interferon gene signature and clinical subgroups in patients with SLE: post hoc analysis of pooled data from two phase III trials

Ann Rheum Dis. 2022; 0:1–11. doi: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2021-221425

IFN-I signalling plays a key role in SLE pathogenesis, and anifrolumab has demonstrated inhibitory effects on IFN-I signalling in patients with SLE. Vital, et al. characterised efficacy and safety of anifrolumab in patients with moderate-to-severe SLE based on interferon gene signature, demographic and clinical subgroups using data pooled from the Phase III TULIP-1 and -2 trials.

Efficacy and Safety of Obinutuzumab in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients with Secondary Non-response to Rituximab

Rheumatology 2022;00:1–5 DOI.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keac150

Arnold, et al. present the first case series reporting the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab in patients with treatment refractory SLE. The results indicate that, for this group of patients with limited treatment approaches, obinutuzumab could be a potential option.

Phase II randomised trial of type I interferon inhibitor anifrolumab in patients with active lupus nephritis

Ann Rheum Dis. 2022;81(4):496–506 doi: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2021-221478

Despite not meeting the primary endpoint, this Phase II trial of anifrolumab in patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) demonstrates that anifrolumab IR is associated with numerical improvements over placebo across endpoints – including complete renal response – in patients with active LN.
