Visit LupusTrials.org to learn about a new clinical trial looking at an investigational treatment for men and women with systemic lupus erythrematosus.
On March 9, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved BENLYSTA® (belimumab) for adults with active systemic lupus, which means we have the first new treatment approved for this chronic autoimmune disease in more than half a century!
“This is a major breakthrough in the care and treatment of lupus, and one that I have been waiting for, for 30 years," said Lupus LA Founder Daniel J. Wallace, MD, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.
