Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by multisystem involvement. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anifrolumab on organ domain-specific SLE disease activity.
In this post-hoc analysis, data were pooled from the randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 TULIP-1 (NCT02446912) and TULIP-2 (NCT02446899) trials of anifrolumab (300 mg intravenously once every 4 weeks for 48 weeks) in patients aged 18-70 years with moderate-to-severe SLE. We evaluated changes from baseline to week 52 in British Isles Lupus Assessment Group 2004 (BILAG-2004) and SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) organ domain scores, Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index activity score (CLASI-A), swollen and tender joint counts, haematology, and serology.
Among the 726 patients included, the mean age was 41·8 years (SD 11·9); 674 (93%) were female, 52 (7%) were male, and 479 (66%) were White. 360 patients received anifrolumab 300 mg (180 patients in each trial), and 366 received placebo (184 patients in TULIP-1 and 182 patients in TULIP-2). The most frequently affected organ domains at baseline were musculoskeletal (645 [89%] patients based on BILAG-2004; 684 [94%] with SLEDAI-2K) and mucocutaneous (627 [86%] with BILAG-2004; 699 [96%] based on SLEDAI-2K). At week 52, anifrolumab treatment resulted in greater improvements versus placebo in the musculoskeletal system (176 [56%] of 317 patients vs 143 [44%] of 328 with BILAG-2004; 164 [49%] of 335 vs 141 [40%] of 349 with SLEDAI-2K), the mucocutaneous system (168 [54%] of 315 vs 119 [38%] of 312 with BILAG-2004; 190 [55%] of 348 vs 138 [39%] of 351 SLEDAI-2K), and immunological system (44 [19%] of 237 vs 26 [11%] of 230 with SLEDAI-2K). Less frequently affected domains had varied responses. Among patients with a CLASI-A of 10 or more at baseline, greater proportions of patients receiving anifrolumab than placebo achieved a reduction of 50% or more in CLASI-A at week 52 (49 [46%] of 107 vs 24 [25%] of 94). Among patients with at least six swollen joints, more patients in the anifrolumab group than in the placebo group had a 50% or more reduction from baseline to week 52 in swollen joint count (99 [57%] of 174 vs 92 [46%] of 200), but the difference between groups was not significant for 50% or more reduction in tender joint count.
Across the two pivotal phase 3 trials, anifrolumab treatment improved SLE disease activity across multiple organ domains.

系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)是一种慢性自身免疫性疾病,其特征为多系统受累。我们旨在评估阿尼鲁单抗对器官领域特异性SLE疾病活动的疗效。
在这项事后分析中,数据汇集自阿尼鲁单抗(每4周静脉注射300mg,共48周)针对18至70岁中重度SLE患者进行的随机、安慰剂对照3期TULIP-1(NCT02446912)和TULIP-2(NCT02446899)试验。我们评估了从基线到第52周英国狼疮评估组2004(BILAG-2004)和SLE疾病活动指数2000(SLEDAI-2K)器官领域评分、皮肤红斑狼疮疾病面积和严重程度指数活动评分(CLASI-A)、肿胀和压痛关节计数、血液学及血清学的变化。
纳入的726例患者中,平均年龄为41.8岁(标准差11.9);674例(93%)为女性,52例(7%)为男性,479例(66%)为白人。360例患者接受阿尼鲁单抗300mg(每项试验180例),366例接受安慰剂(TULIP-1中184例,TULIP-2中182例)。基线时最常受累的器官领域为肌肉骨骼(基于BILAG-2004为645例[89%]患者;基于SLEDAI-2K为684例[94%])和黏膜皮肤(基于BILAG-2004为627例[86%];基于SLEDAI-2K为699例[96%])。在第52周,与安慰剂相比,阿尼鲁单抗治疗使肌肉骨骼系统(基于BILAG-2004,317例患者中的176例[56%] vs 328例中的143例[44%];基于SLEDAI-2K,335例中的164例[49%] vs 349例中的141例[40%])、黏膜皮肤系统(基于BILAG-2004,315例中的168例[54%] vs 312例中的119例[38%];基于SLEDAI-2K,348例中的190例[55%] vs 351例中的138例[39%])和免疫系统(基于SLEDAI-2K,237例中的44例[19%] vs 230例中的26例[11%])有更大改善。较少受累的领域有不同反应。在基线时CLASI-A为10或更高的患者中,在第52周接受阿尼鲁单抗的患者中CLASI-A降低50%或更多的比例高于接受安慰剂的患者(107例中的49例[46%] vs 94例中的24例[25%])。在至少有6个肿胀关节的患者中,从基线到第52周,阿尼鲁单抗组肿胀关节计数减少50%或更多的患者多于安慰剂组(174例中的99例[57%] vs 200例中的92例[46%]),但两组间压痛关节计数减少50%或更多的差异不显著。
在两项关键的3期试验中,阿尼鲁单抗治疗改善了多个器官领域的SLE疾病活动。
