  • Research summary

    This is a non-interventional multicenter and fully retrospective medical chart review study on patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) receiving Anifrolumab under the Early Access Program in their routine standard of care. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic auto-immune disease characterized by alternating periods of disease activity, exacerbation or flares and less commonly remission. There is considerable variability across patients in terms of clinical manifestations of SLE, including involvement of multiple organ systems which require an individualized treatment approach.

    Anifrolumab has been developed as an add-on therapy for SLE and was issued a marketing authorization in
    European Union on 14 February 2022. Currently, there is an early access program on anifrolumab treatment in adult patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus. It is important to generate evidence about the experience of patients who are prescribed anifrolumab in routine clinical care.

    This retrospective chart review study aims to learn more about systemic lupus erythematosus and the experience of patients using anifrolumab. We want to better understand the disease and associated health problems. There are no patients visits required, they will only attend their clinic appointment as part of their routine appointment.

    Past data are collected for a period of 12 to 18 months, starting from around 6 to 9 months prior to the first Anifrolumab treatment to until 6 to 9 months after the first treatment. The duration of data collection for which past data are collected will depend on how long the patient is treated with Anifrolumab under the early access program.
