Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of telitacicept, a drug targeting B lymphocytes, in treating immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in 42 patients, comparing results across three different treatment groups: a whole telitacicept group, a newly treated subgroup, and a conventional immunosuppressive (IS) group.
  • - After 24 weeks, both the newly treated telitacicept subgroup and the conventional IS group showed significant reductions in 24-hour proteinuria (a measure of protein in urine), with improvements in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), indicating better kidney function.
  • - Overall, while all three groups demonstrated improvements, no serious

Article Synopsis
  • BLyS and APRIL help B cells evade elimination, which can contribute to autoimmune diseases like SLE; targeting these proteins may reduce harmful B cell populations.
  • Telitacicept is a fusion protein that inhibits both BLyS and APRIL, disrupting the survival of problematic B cells.
  • This review summarizes telitacicept's mechanisms, dosing, efficacy, and safety, highlighting its potential in treating autoimmune diseases based on previous research.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-associated hepatitis ("lupus hepatitis") was one of the most frequent causes of liver function abnormalities in patients with SLE. Lupus hepatitis (LH) is commonly treated with conventional treatment, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and immunomodulators. However, in refractory cases, other treatment options may be required.

Telitacicept, an injectable recombinant human B-lymphocyte stimulating factor receptor-antibody fusion protein, is a new dual B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS)/APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand) inhibitor that effectively blocks proliferation of B lymphocytes. This study evaluates the pharmacokinetic characteristics, tolerability, and safety of a single subcutaneous injection of various doses (80, 160, and 240 mg) of telitacicept in healthy Chinese subjects. This trial is a single-center, randomized, open-label phase I clinical study that includes three dose groups (80, 160, and 240 mg) with 12 subjects in each dose group.
