New lupus drug tested for Long-Term safety in large trial
NCT ID NCT04976322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study is checking the long-term safety of a drug called dapirolizumab pegol for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus). It involves 760 participants who have already completed earlier studies of the drug. Researchers will monitor side effects over time to see if the drug is safe for extended use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dapirolizumab pegol
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that dapirolizumab pegol is safe enough for long-term use in lupus patients, potentially offering a new treatment option to control the disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study focused on safety, not on how well the drug works. It may still reveal unexpected side effects, and the drug may not be effective for everyone.
