Is Rituximab and Belimumab the Combination to Beat Lupus?

d Eric Dein, MD

On day 2 of EULAR conference, Dr. Michael Ehrenstein presented OP0129, a presentation on the BEAT-LUPUS trial looking at belimumab therapy after rituximab. B cell depletion with rituximab is common treatment for refractory SLE, though real-world data for rituximab has been uncertain. It is known that B-cell activating factor (BAFF) levels can increase after rituximab, which can lead to disease flares. Using belimumab, a human monoclonal antibody inhibiting BAFF, could be a potential therapeutic option after rituximab infusions.
