Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been newly prescribed Anifrolumab for their SLE treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently involved in other clinical trials or those with prior exposure to Anifrolumab may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The INTERSTELLAR study aims to gather real-world evidence on the effectiveness of Anifrolumab when added to standard care for patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). This multi-country, observational cohort study will collect clinical assessments and patient-reported outcomes over a one-year follow-up period after the initial prescription of Anifrolumab. The study will include a retrospective baseline data collection and will standardize measures across participating countries to facilitate comprehensive analysis. It seeks to inform healthcare providers and patients about the potential benefits of Anifrolumab in treating SLE, particularly its impact on skin manifestations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the real-world effectiveness of Anifrolumab for patients with SLE, potentially improving treatment strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While this study is observational and aims to generate real-world evidence, similar studies have shown promise in evaluating treatment outcomes for autoimmune diseases.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18 years or older at study enrolment. 2. Fulfilled the 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria1 for SLE at the time of study entry. 3. Prescribed anifrolumab for their SLE treatment for the first time, according to approved country-specific label. 4. It is important to note that a physician decision to prescribe anifrolumab will need to occur prior to any study-related discussion. 5. In countries where prescription reimbursements are authorized on a case-by-case basis, authorization (ie, patient access to treatment) will be required for study entry. 6. Provided informed consent to participate in the study. 7. Willing and able to participate in all required study evaluations and procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Currently participating in an anifrolumab early access/compassionate use program or an interventional clinical trial with an investigational product. 2. Previous exposure to anifrolumab as part of a clinical trial or early access program. 3. Documented diagnosis of severe or rapidly progressive Class III or IV glomerulonephritis requiring induction therapy (mycophenolate mofetil \[MMF\]/cyclophosphamide \[CYC\] + high dose steroids), isolated Class V lupus nephritis, or active severe or unstable neuropsychiatric lupus. 4. Any other condition which the investigator deems to limit a patient's ability to understand the informed consent or complete the PROs.
