Extension Study of Ianalumab for Lupus Nephritis

This is an extension study for people who have already participated in the SIRIUS-LN core study for lupus nephritis (a kidney disease caused by lupus). The study is testing ianalumab, a drug that targets certain immune cells (B cells) that contribute to lupus. The main goals are to see how well ianalumab works over a longer period and to monitor any side effects. Some participants who responded well to treatment in the core study will stop taking ianalumab to see if their improvements last, while others will continue with open-label ianalumab. To join, you must have completed the previous SIRIUS-LN core study. The study aims to enroll 348 participants. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an open-label extension study, meaning you and your doctors will know if you are receiving ianalumab. It plans to enroll 348 participants.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for up to 6 years, with some being monitored for up to 456 weeks (about 8.7 years) for kidney flare-ups or other events, and others for up to 560 weeks (about 10.7 years) for side effects.
