Safety and Efficacy of Combination Belimumab and Voclosporin in the Treatment of Proliferative Forms of Lupus Glomerulopathy: Synergy Trial
Testing whether adding two lupus medicines to standard care improves kidney results
📍 AARA Clinical Research · Glendale, AZ · +6 more US sites · Get directions →
This is a Phase IV, open-label, randomized trial to determine whether the combination of Belimumab (BEL) and Voclosporin (VCS), plus background therapy with Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), improves the proportion of patients with proliferative lupus nephritis achieving complete renal response (CRR) compared to proportion of patients achieving CRR from recent clinical trials.
