Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an External control arm study to generate evidence on the comparative effect of anifrolumab plus Standard of Care in TULIP versus Real World Standard of Care on organ damage in adult patients with moderately to severely active Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Patients who initiated 300 mg of anifrolumab in TULIP-1 or -2 will be indexed at the date of initiating anifrolumab and will be followed up until the earliest occurrence of death, loss to follow-up, trial dis-enrollment, or week 208 assessment (in LTE study).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an External Control arm study to generate evidence on the comparative effect of anifrolumab plus Standard of Care in TULIP versus Real World Standard of Care on organ damage in adult patients with moderately to severely active (Systemic lupus erythematosus) SLE. Patients who initiated 300 mg of anifrolumab in TULIP-1 or -2 will be indexed at the date of initiating anifrolumab and will be followed up until the earliest occurrence of death, loss to follow-up, trial dis-enrollment, or week 208 assessment (in LTE study). Patients in the University of Toronto Lupus Clinic will be indexed at the first date of clinical assessment within the patient enrollment period for which they satisfy all eligibility criteria and are receiving at least one eligible SOC treatment (i.e., their 'index assessment') and will be followed up until the earliest occurrence of death, loss to follow-up, UTLC disenrollment, or end of study period.
