Saphnelo Use in Females of Child-bearing Potential

연구 개요

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by substantial clinical burden-including organ damage, increased morbidity, and mortality-that often presents in young adulthood and disproportionately affects female patients. SAPHNELO™ (anifrolumab-fnia), a fully human IgG1 κ monoclonal antibody, is a novel therapeutic option approved for add-on treatment of moderate-to-severe SLE in the United States (US) on 30 July 2021 and in the European Union on 14 February 2022. To fulfill US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) post-marketing requirements for the evaluation of anifrolumab safety in pregnancy, additional evidence is needed to better understand the real-world drug utilization of anifrolumab in female patients of reproductive potential.
