DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hm3n34/atacicept) has announced the addition of the "Atacicept (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" report to their offering.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease that can affect any organ or tissue and is the prototypic autoimmune disease. While SLE can affect multiple major organ systems in the body, one of its most severe manifestations includes renal (kidney) involvement, known as lupus nephritis (LN).
The term LN refers to SLE patients with glomerulonephritis, and when the term LN is used, glomerular tissue injury in the kidneys is always involved. Renal injury without any glomerular involvement is classified as nephritis in a patient with SLE.
Merck Serono is developing atacicept, under license from ZymoGenetics (now Bristol-Myers Squibb), for the potential treatment of autoimmune diseases, including SLE. Atacicept is a fusion protein of the extracellular portion of the transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI) receptor and the Fc portion of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and is being developed as a subcutaneous formulation.
