Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–80 years old with SLE by EULAR/ACR criteria, positive ANA (≥1:80) or anti-dsDNA, a SLEDAI-2000 score ≥8, and on stable standard SLE therapy are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant organ dysfunction, CD4+ counts below 200 cells/µL, recent B‑cell‑depleting therapy, recent cyclophosphamide, calcineurin inhibitors, or recent plasma exchange are excluded and unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 interventional trial compares MIL62 with placebo in adults who meet EULAR/ACR criteria for SLE and have high disease activity. Eligible participants must have positive ANA or anti-dsDNA and be on a stable dose of standard SLE treatments before dosing. Enrolled adults will receive MIL62 or placebo and be followed for measures of disease activity and safety over the treatment period. The study is designed to determine whether MIL62 reduces SLE disease activity and has an acceptable safety profile compared with placebo.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, MIL62 could provide a new treatment option that reduces disease activity and improves symptoms for people with active SLE.

How similar studies have gone: Other B‑cell–targeting therapies have benefitted some SLE patients, but MIL62 is a novel agent now undergoing phase 3 testing.
