Objective: Evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab, an interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitor, in a Phase 2, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of patients with active lupus nephritis (LN).
Methods: Adults (18-75 years) with active LN (Class III-IV proliferative nephritis [kidney biopsy] and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio [UPCR)] of ≥ 1 mg/mg despite standard-of-care therapy) were randomized (1:1; planned sample = 60) to receive intravenous infusions of guselkumab 400 mg or placebo at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, then subcutaneous injections (guselkumab 200 mg or placebo) at Week12 and every 4 weeks through Week48 in addition to their background therapy. The primary end point was achievement of ≥ 50% decrease in proteinuria from baseline at Week24.

Autoimmune diseases are identified by the chronic inflammation and tissue damage resulting from unregulated immune responses throughout the body. Systemic lupus erythematosus, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are among the 80+ characterized conditions, 80% of which are diagnosed in women. The compounded effects of biological sex and hormones; social identities, such as age, race, and gender; and other determinants on health highlight a pressing need for an inclusive approach to address disparities for women living with autoimmune diseases.
