Kidney inflammation caused by SLE is referred to as lupus nephritis (LN), and it is estimated that between 40% and 50% of all SLE patients will develop LN that requires treatment over the course of their lifetime.
Lupkynis (voclosporin) has been cleared by the European Commission for use in combination with immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for adult patients with moderate to severe (class III to V) LN.
