Breakthrough trial aims to ditch damaging steroids for lupus patients

NCT ID NCT04702256

Summary

This major Phase 3 trial is testing if a new drug combination can effectively treat lupus nephritis (a serious kidney complication of lupus) without needing high doses of oral steroids. The study will compare the standard steroid-based treatment against a new regimen using a drug called obinutuzumab, aiming to control the disease while avoiding the severe side effects steroids can cause. About 196 adults and teens with active lupus kidney disease will participate to see if the steroid-free approach works just as well.
