Summary

This trial tests if a new drug, imvotamab, is safe and tolerated in people with severe lupus who have not responded to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who haven't responded to treatments like methotrexate or belimumab. They should have active SLE and a high disease activity score but stable standard care doses up to Week 8. Not eligible if pregnant, breastfeeding, planning pregnancy soon, have severe kidney issues, take high-dose steroids, neuropsychiatric lupus complications, drug-induced lupus or recent severe anti-phospholipid syndrome.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of Imvotamab in patients with serious SLE. Participants will receive Imvotamab intravenously while keeping their usual SLE medications constant to see how well it works when other therapies fail.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Imvotamab are not listed here, common side effects for drugs treating autoimmune conditions like SLE may include allergic reactions at the infusion site, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression, nausea and potential liver enzyme abnormalities.
