A Phase 1b Study of Budoprutug in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Purpose

The main objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of budoprutug in adults with SLE. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical efficacy will also be assessed.

Detailed Description

Budoprutug is a humanized, immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to CD19 and is projected to deplete targeted cells through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. This Phase 1b, open-label study will evaluate budoprutug administered as a single intravenous infusion in ascending dose cohorts of patients aged 18 years and above with active, seropositive SLE and inadequate response to standard therapy. The study will also assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and early indications of efficacy of budoprutug in SLE, where pharmacodynamics will be evaluated as the change in the number of B cells and immunoglobulins (antibodies) in the blood over time following a single infusion.
