Novel Treatment Promising for Cutaneous Lupus in Phase 2 Trial


 

SOURCE:

The study was led by Victoria P. Werth, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania and the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, both in Philadelphia, and was published online in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.

LIMITATIONS:

The study included small patient subgroups for different CLE subtypes, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. CLE subtype was determined by the investigator without additional photographic adjudication. Additionally, the use of background lupus medications could have influenced the placebo group’s response, limiting the ability to observe the treatment effect of iberdomide monotherapy.

DISCLOSURES:

The study was funded by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Six authors reported being employed by Bristol-Myers Squibb, and several others reported consultancy and research support from various sources including Bristol-Myers Squibb.

This article was created using several editorial tools, including AI, as part of the process. Human editors reviewed this content before publication. A version of this article first appeared on Medscape.com.
