Treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus with anti-cd154 antibody
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884737B2) discloses a method for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using a specific monovalent antibody fragment binding to CD154. The method involves administering an initial loading dose of about 30 mg/kg of the antibody fragment to a human subject with SLE, followed by further doses of about 15 mg/kg every other week for at least 12 weeks. The antibody fragment used in the treatment contains specific amino acid sequences and structural modifications to enhance its efficacy in treating SLE.
Furthermore, the patent claims that the administration of the monovalent antibody fragment results in significant improvements in various indices such as SLEDAI, BILAG, and Global Physician assessment. The method aims to achieve specific outcomes such as SLEDAI Responder Index 4 (SRI-4), a 50% improvement from baseline in the SRI-50 index, normalization of complement C3 and C4 concentration, reduction in anti-double stranded DNA titre in serum, and even a reversion from seropositive to seronegative for anti-double stranded DNA antibodies in subjects with SLE. These claims highlight the potential of the method in effectively managing and improving the condition of individuals with SLE, offering new possibilities for treatment in this challenging autoimmune disease.
