Research in lupus continues although slower than we would all like. There are 2 drugs recently approved for lupus nephritis ( kidney involvement), Benlysta and Lupkynis. Benlysta has been in use for joint and skin manifestations of lupus for several years. Recent studies now provide data that it can slow down progression of lupus involving the kidney. Lupkynis ( voclosporin) is a pill which when used with other immunosupressive medications can help prevent protein from leaking into the urine. These advances are important in an area where there have been few new medications available for those suffering with systemic lupus erythematosus.
