SLE, which accounts for 70 percent of lupus cases<sup>1<\/sup>, is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues. The Lupus Foundation of America estimates at least 5 million people worldwide are living with a form of lupus, 90 percent of whom are women.<sup>2,3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSystemic lupus erythematosus has many manifestations, its severity can negatively impact a patient\u2019s quality of life and there are limited treatment options,\u201d said Victoria Werth, MD, professor of medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and chief of dermatology at the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz Veteran\u2019s Administration Medical Center. \u201cThis trial will help determine the safety and efficacy of Horizon\u2019s ILT7 antagonist in reducing overall disease activity for patients who live with moderate to severely active SLE.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe initiation of the Phase 2 trial follows encouraging efficacy and safety data from a Phase 1b trial in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus, a form of lupus affecting the skin.<sup>4<\/sup> The Phase 1b study showed HZN-7734 decreased plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and reduced Type 1 Interferon both in circulation, as well as the skin of people with cutaneous lupus, demonstrating that this molecule has activity in specific tissues where the disease occurs. HZN-7734 also improved Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index-Activity (<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fpmc%2Farticles%2FPMC3928016%2F&amp;esheet=52452404&amp;newsitemid=20210629005244&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=CLASI-A&amp;index=1&amp;md5=122c3a7209387f301ffbbadfb2b383cc\">CLASI-A<\/a>) scores, a clinical measure of cutaneous lupus, versus placebo.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe composite primary endpoint of the Phase 2 trial is change in the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG)-based Combined Lupus Assessment (BICLA) and reduction in oral glucocorticoid dose after 48 weeks. BICLA is a composite measure of overall SLE disease activity. Additional trial endpoints include other measures of both lupus disease activity and oral glucocorticoid reduction.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cResearch suggests pDCs, a type of immune cell that produces Type 1 Interferon and causes inflammation, play a critical role in the pathogenesis of lupus and possibly other autoimmune diseases related to the interferon pathway,\u201d said Elizabeth H.Z. Thompson, Ph.D, executive vice president, research and development, Horizon. \u201cEarly studies indicate that HZN-7734 can deplete pDCs in blood and tissue thereby reducing Type 1 Interferon and the resulting inflammation, potentially addressing an unmet treatment need for patients with lupus. The enrollment of the first patient in this study represents an important milestone for these patients.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About HZN-7734<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nHZN-7734 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets ILT7 and, in early studies, has been shown to promote the destruction of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). pDCs are thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of lupus and other autoimmune diseases through their capacity to produce rapid and robust quantities of Type 1 IFN as well as through IFN-independent mechanisms.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nSLE is marked by inflammation that can affect joints, skin and multiple organs. Symptoms can vary and may change over time, but skin rashes, swelling or pain in various parts of the body, extreme fatigue and low fevers are common. In some people, SLE can progress to more serious complications such as kidney damage, nervous system dysfunction and heart attack. The disease often occurs as periods of active disease, known as flares, alternating with periods where symptoms subside, known as remission.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Horizon<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nHorizon is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of medicines that address critical needs for people impacted by rare, autoimmune and severe inflammatory diseases.
