Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Dapirolizumab Pegol Sle Dzp

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called dapirolizumab pegol (DZP) for people with moderately to severely active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body. The goal is to see if adding this treatment to standard care can help improve symptoms and overall health in patients who are not fully controlled by their current medications.

To participate, individuals must be at least 16 years old and have been diagnosed with SLE for at least six months. They should be experiencing moderate to severe symptoms despite taking standard medications like antimalarials or corticosteroids. Participants will receive the new treatment along with their usual care and will be monitored closely for improvements and any side effects. This study is currently recruiting, and anyone interested should discuss their eligibility with their healthcare provider.
