Limitations of Use – The efficacy of Saphnelo has not been evaluated in patients with severe active lupus nephritis or severe active central nervous system lupus.

Saphnelo active ingredients

Saphnelo contains the active ingredient anifrolumab-fnia.

Clinical trials for Saphnelo (TULIP-1, TULIP-2, and MUSE) were randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials in patients with moderate to severe SLE who were receiving standard therapy. Standard therapy included at least one of the following: OCS, antimalarials, and immunosuppressants (methotrexate, azathioprine, or mycophenolate mofetil).

The TULIP (Treatment of Uncontrolled Lupus via the Interferon Pathway) Phase III program included two trials, TULIP-1 and TULIP-2, that evaluated the efficacy and safety of Saphnelo versus placebo. TULIP-2 showed superiority versus placebo with both arms receiving standard therapy. TULIP-2 assessed the ability of Saphnelo to reduce disease activity, as measured by the BILAG-Based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) scale.

In TULIP-1, 457 eligible patients were randomized (1:2:2) and received a fixed-dose intravenous infusion of 150mg Saphnelo, 300mg Saphnelo or placebo every four weeks, in addition to standard therapy. The trial did not meet its primary endpoint based on the SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI4) composite measure.

The MUSE trial showed improvement versus placebo across multiple efficacy endpoints with both arms receiving standard therapy.

In SLE, along with the pivotal TULIP Phase III program, Saphnelo continues to be evaluated in a long-term extension Phase III trial and a Phase III trial assessing subcutaneous delivery. Also, AstraZeneca is exploring the potential of Saphnelo in a variety of diseases where type I IFN plays a key role, including lupus nephritis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and myositis.
