Promising! #Cenerimod is a selective S1P1 Receptor modulator has potential in SLE through modulating lymphocyte trafficking, inflammation, and autoantigen transport. Phase 2 showed reduced T/B lymphocytes, autoAb levels, and secretions of IFN-a. #abstr0584 @rheumNow #ACR23

#ACR23 Abstr#0784 Beyond renal response, let’s also focus on kidney function and Steroid-sparing effect. Post-hoc analysis of Phase 2 RCT showed Obinutuzumab preserved eGFR by 4ml/min/1.73m2/year with greater number of pts achieving <7.5mg/d of prednisolone bs PBO @RheumNowNews https://t.co/2hW74UF1ta
