B-cell depletion with obinutuzumab for the treatment of proliferative lupus nephritis: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Richard A. Furie et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of obinutuzumab with standard therapies and placebo in the treatment of LN. The results showed that obinutuzumab achieved better complete renal responses at 52 and 104 weeks compared to standard therapies alone. It also showed improvements in other renal response measures, serologies, estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria. Obinutuzumab was well tolerated and no new safety signals were identified.

How should we use convalescent plasma therapies for the management of COVID-19?

Erica M. Wood et al.

Summary: Convalescent plasma from blood donors with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 may benefit COVID-19 patients by providing immediate passive immunity via transfusion or by being used to manufacture hyperimmune immunoglobulin preparations. Optimal characteristics, transfusion volume, and administration timing remain to be determined, requiring international collaborative efforts to establish clinical efficacy. Preliminary safety data for COVID-19 CP is encouraging, with ongoing large, high-quality randomized trials starting to report preliminary results.

Efficacy and safety of voclosporin versus placebo for lupus nephritis (AURORA 1): a double-blind, randomised, multicentre, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial

Brad H. Rovin et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of voclosporin for the treatment of lupus nephritis, showing a superior complete renal response rate with voclosporin in combination with MMF and low-dose steroids compared to MMF and low-dose steroids alone. The safety profile was comparable between the two groups. This finding represents an important advancement in the treatment of patients with active lupus nephritis.
