Aurinia Presents Breadth of Data from AURORA Clinical Program Underscoring Value of LUPKYNISⓇ (voclosporin) for Patients with Lupus Nephritis at ACR 2023
Safety and efficacy outcomes for propensity-matched patients with active LN from the Aspreva Lupus Management Study (ALMS) and the AURORA 1 study were assessed at three and six months.
- Safety and efficacy outcomes for propensity-matched patients with active LN from the Aspreva Lupus Management Study (ALMS) and the AURORA 1 study were assessed at three and six months.
- In AURORA 1, patients received LUPKYNIS® 23.7 mg BID in combination with MMF (target dose 2 g/day) and oral glucocorticoids (starting dose of 25 mg/day tapered to 2.5 mg/day by Week 16).
- The data showed an improved safety profile over the first six months of treatment with LUPKYNIS® in combination with low-dose glucocorticoids and lower-dose MMF without compromising efficacy.
- Additional data assessed the disposition of cyclosporine (CSA), tacrolimus (TAC), and voclosporin (VCS) in mouse kidneys relative to its systemic drug exposure.
