Social Determinants of Health in SLE
EurekAlert!
Social determinants of health (SDH), such as socioeconomic status and educational background are factors that are increasingly recognised as critical contributors to health outcomes in chronic diseases.

#EULAR2025 Abstr#LB0004 Phase 2 RCT of first-in-class, Enpatoran, TLR7/8-i in active #SLE despite SOC (Cohort B) reported nominal improvement in BICLA but no dose-dependent response. Greater effects seen on active CLE, high IFN-GS or high dose GC. No major safety signal @RheumNow https://t.co/aX4ier0rAy

Enpatoran (TLR7/8 inhibitor) in SLE & CLE
- helps skin, others?
- suppresses interferon
lowest dose was highest response though (upsetting primary endpoint)
Promising, watch for the ph3

💉Early results from a dose-escalation trial of novel CD19xCD3xCD28 trispecific antibody (CC312) in refractory #SLE show no ICANS or ≥G2 CRS, rapid B cell depletion & 100% SRI-4 response (n=5).

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS1155 Fatigue remains a management challenge in #SLE. Consistent with other endpoints achieved, Dapirolizumab+SOC improved fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue & FATIGUE-PRO) over PBO+SOC in a Phase 3 RCT @RheumNow https://t.co/rYujy2YjBl

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS0301 Real World Multicentre study in Italy reported higher proportion of CRR at 6-mth & Lower GC in people with #lupus nephritis (~96% Class III, IV or Mixed with V) treated with Belimumab+SOC vs matched cohort on SOC. Predicted by early BEL use @RheumNow https://t.co/D6e2qo9NRL

#EULAR2025 Abstr#LB0007 Two’s Company, Three’s a Crowd! In 5 #SLE pts treated with CC312, a novel CD19/CD3/CD28 tri-specific ab in dose escalation showed rapid & B-cell depletion & all achieved SRI-4. No =>G2 CRS or ICANS. USP: off-the-shelf & overcome T-cell exhaustion @RheumNow https://t.co/6DZRj09JEQ

What do we know about disparities in #SLE
- worse in women
- worse in non white populations
- have lower quality of care in vulnerable populations
- have worse outcomes in vulnerable populations

#Lupus is one of the biggest social discriminators
🔺️Higher prevalence in Women
🔺️Higher prevalence in Non-Whites
🔺️More catastrophic manifestations in low socioeconomic groups

How does #HCQ work in #SLE
Stabilizes lysomal membranes?
#Lupus pts on HCQ monoRx & low #SLEDAI were followed
Single cell seq
HCQ cytokine sigs May vary over time
IFN & OXPosph pathways
#Hydroxychloroquine in #LN - #IFN I&II

#EULAR2025 Take Home message from Updated EULAR Recommendations @eular_org for #Lupus Nephritis:
-Kidney Biopsy vital
-Early use of Combination Therapies (HCQ + GC + Immunosuppressant + CNI/Belimumab/Obinutuzumab)
-Severe: High dose Cyclo + GC

#EULAR2025 Abstr#OP0273 Single arm, Open Label Phase 2 trial showed Certolizumab (given in WKS 8-28) +LMWH+LDA in Antiphospholipid syndrome reported 20% Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in ITT; 18% Per Protocol. Met prespecified criterion (20%); expected LMWH+LDA (40%) @RheumNow https://t.co/ynQ2h2NTQ7

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS0320 Data from TULIP+LTE compared to Lupus Toronto Cohort as Control showed Anifrolumab reduced organ damage progression up to 4 years vs real-world SOC in #SLE. Effect continued to 10yrs using novel extrapolate analysis @RheumNow https://t.co/bkjZCZ8xGr

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS0321 In addition to complete renal response attainment as you already know, exploratory analysis from REGENCY showed Obinutuzumab+SOC reduced #lupus nephritis flare and unfavourable kidney outcomes vs PBO+SOC. Longterm kidney survival protection @RheumNow https://t.co/vRFb94TXaQ

#EULAR2025 Abstr#OP0324 Cohort study of #lupus nephritis in Greece showed Earlier GC Discontinuation (D/C) & flare protection post-D/C is associated with renal response, low disease activity & HCQ use at GC D/C. Membranous LN & recent diagnosis were assoc w early GC D/C @RheumNow https://t.co/agFgyG5eaS

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS0991 RCT showed Adjuvanted Herpes Zoster vaccination appeared safe in #SLE upto 1 year. However, humoral and cellular responses declined over time. Longer follow up needed to ascertain frequency of vaccine to be repeated @RheumNow https://t.co/FcUi1OfBLu

SLE Preview: advances to achieve deep B-cell depletion
The race is on for the first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapy to be approved for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Its main principle is to induce deep B-cell depletion, with the hope to reset https://t.co/OzQ05YFZfb

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS0325 Immunosuppressant-free is not only confined to CAR-T. Our cohort study in #SLE: 20% patients were “Super-Responder” (>3yrs response) inc. 7% IS-free after one Rituximab cycle. Non-European, APS & shorter disease duration predicted super-response @RheumNow https://t.co/nPIYpGoynR

#EULAR2025 Abstr#OP0198 Long-term extension study of Phase 2 #SLE showed efficacy of Upadacitinib and UPA + Elsubrutinib were maintained through to Week 104. Those who switched from PBO at WK48 to UPA + ELSU also improved. No VTE or MACE. Is add-on ELSU really needed? @RheumNow https://t.co/x8NbAtsHh0
