Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Probably not a fit

Patients with active infections, recent major surgery, pregnancy or intention to become pregnant, or other exclusion criteria may not benefit from this trial.

What this trial studies

This phase 2 interventional trial evaluates mosunetuzumab in adults diagnosed with SLE by the 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria, including those with or without active lupus nephritis. Participants will receive mosunetuzumab as the investigational therapy, with eligibility excluding certain conditions such as recent pregnancy, recent other investigational therapy, major surgery, active infections, and other specified health factors. The study aims to characterize safety and the biological activity of mosunetuzumab in this patient population. Sites are located in Argentina, including Buenos Aires and Salvador, with Hoffmann-La Roche as lead sponsor. The trial does not list a comparator and is focused on assessing the intervention's effects in real-world diverse SLE patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved disease control or progression-free outcomes related to SLE manifestations.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in similar biologic approaches for autoimmune disease have shown mixed results; this study explores mosunetuzumab in SLE, a relatively novel application.

* History of any non-SLE disease treated with oral, intravenous, or intramuscular corticosteroids for more than 14 days in total during the one year prior to Day 1
* History of treatment with any T cell-engaging bispecific antibodies or CAR-T therapy within the past 2 years
* Receipt of any live or attenuated vaccine in the 28 days prior to or during screening
