Abstract
Background: To determine the safety and efficacy of biological agents used in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in adults.
Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines.
Data sources: MEDLINE (through Pubmed), EMBASE, Cochrane library, Clinicaltrials.gov, Australianclinicaltrials.gov.au, ANZCTR.org.au and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for studies published from 20 May 2021 and 15 years prior. A grey literature search was performed and completed on 31 May 2021.
Study criteria: Phase II, III or quasi randomised controlled trials, studies with only cerebral or cutaneous lupus were excluded.
Data extraction: Two authors independently screened studies for eligibility, extracted, reviewed data for accuracy, and used the Cochrane tool to assess risk of bias.
Results: Forty-four studies were identified, consisting of 15 groups of drugs and 25 different biological agents, totalling 16,889 patients. The main outcomes assessed included Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Responder Index (SRI), BILAG-Based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) and combined combined/partial renal remission (CRR/PRR). Four groups of biologics were found to improve outcomes. Anti-interferons: Anifrolumab increased BICLA response and SRI 5 to 8, decreased prednisone dosages, with increased herpes zoster infections, but fewer serious adverse events. Sifalimumab improved SRI but also increased herpes zoster infections. Anti BAFF/BLyS and/or APRIL: Belimumab consistently improved SRI 4, decreased prednisone dosages, increased combined CRR/PRR, and had no adverse safety outcomes. Tabalumab increased SRI 5 at 52 weeks with no steroid sparing effect but was associated with increased infusion related adverse events. Telitacicept improved SRI 4 at 52 weeks, with no increased adverse events, though data was rather sparse. Anti CD-20 monoclonal antibody, Obinutuzumab increased combined CRR/PRR at 1 and 2 years. Anti IL12/23 monoclonal antibody, Ustekinumab, increased SRI 4 to 6, but not BICLA at 24 weeks, with no concerning safety outcomes.
Conclusion: Multiple biologic agents are shown in high quality studies to have a significant therapeutic impact on outcomes in SLE.
