Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Discussing Lupus: New treatment safety and efficacy and impact of mental health outcomes in SLE
Q: What differences are observed between IV and subcutaneous anaphylamab results, and how might that affect patient choice?
The IV trial curves align closely with the subcutaneous results, suggesting similar efficacy, which could expand options for patients to self-administer or receive IV infusions depending on preference and access.
Discussing Lupus: Belimumab and CD19 CAR NK-cell therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus
Q: That's interesting background, Rich. I'm very interested about the dose response. Do you think that the dose response you described was responsible for the findings in Sun and colleagues' paper?
Yes, the dose-response observations likely contributed to the effects seen in Sun's study, where lower doses still produced meaningful pharmacodynamic activity and clinical signals, suggesting that optimal dosing may be lower than the highest tested doses in some patient populations.
Discussing Lupus: Antimalarial use in lupus nephritis and CAR T-cell therapy in SLE
Q: What are the key uncertainties around CAR T therapy in SLE?
Key uncertainties include durability of response, long-term safety, how to integrate CAR T into current treatment algorithms, and which patients are most likely to benefit given disease heterogeneity.
Discussing Lupus: Antimalarial use in lupus nephritis and CAR T-cell therapy in SLE
Q: Do you think the benefits of anti-malarials will be attenuated by more aggressive upfront treatment?
The guests noted that while aggressive upfront therapy may change the landscape, antimalarials still appear to confer independent protective effects, though their relative contribution may evolve as other therapies become standard.
Discussing Lupus: Antimalarial use in lupus nephritis and CAR T-cell therapy in SLE
Q: So Kat, what was your feeling about this paper?
The study adds weight to the benefits of antimalarials in lupus nephritis and underscores the need to keep patients adherent to these drugs despite polypharmacy. It also prompts reflection on how emerging therapies might alter long-term damage outcomes.
