AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current treatments for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are inconvenient for patients due to intravenous administration requirements, and there is a need for a safe and effective subcutaneous dose of aniflorumab, a type I IFN receptor (IFNAR1) inhibitor, as predicting PK and efficacy is difficult.

Method used

Identifying optimal subcutaneous doses of aniflorumab through innovative data modeling, ensuring safety and efficacy equivalent to intravenous administration, using unit doses between 105 mg and 150 mg for weekly administration.

Benefits of technology

Provides plasma concentrations equivalent to intravenous administration, reducing patient burden and improving BILAG-based composite lupus assessment and SLE Responder Index scores.

Abstract

This invention provides a method and unit dose for the treatment of type I IFN-mediated diseases. [Solution] The present invention provides a unit dose for subcutaneous administration of a type I IFN receptor (IFNAR1) inhibitor in a dose greater than 105 mg (>) and less than 150 mg (<), specifically a human monoclonal antibody specific to IFNAR1, or optionally a modified IgG1 class human monoclonal antibody, and a method comprising subcutaneously administering the unit dose to a subject having a type I interferon (IFN)-mediated disease.
