      Progress of biologics/targeted therapy in SLE We are in a transformative era for SLE, for clinicians and patients. Four targeted therapies are now licensed: belimumab (nephritis and non‑renal), voclosporin and obinutuzumab (nephritis), and anifrolumab (non‑renal). Many agents https://t.co/BuFCmj1hQd
