There remains an unmet need in SLE disease management as standard treatments including anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, antimalarial agents, and immunosuppressant therapies are not always effective in moderating disease activity. We report a 41-year-old Caucasian female patient with a 12-year history of SLE complicated by debilitating nocturnal fevers and WHO Class IV lupus nephritis who for years was refractory to standard therapies but improved dramatically with canakinumab, an interleukin-1β (IL-1β)antagonist. This is the first case of the use of canakinumab in SLE. The standard interventions demonstrated no significant impact on her proteinuria (>3 g/24 h), joint complaints, and nocturnal fevers. Additionally, her anti-dsDNA levels remained elevated, and her kidney function did not improve significantly. In contrast, the introduction of canakinumab provided a rapid reduction in nocturnal fevers within 6 weeks (i.e. decreased in frequency by 90%). Her proteinuria has also dropped from 3.5 g/24 h to 0.274 g/24 h, and her prednisone has been tapered and discontinued. In addition, her renal function has improved with an average glomerular filtration rate (GFR) level of 84.14 ± 7.56. There has also been a significant decrease in both erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and anti-dsDNA levels compared with the previous treatments. We report that canakinumab could potentially represent the next step in SLE patients' treatment who have failed conventional therapies or who are intolerant to them. In this case, the addition of canakinumab facilitated the tapering and ultimately discontinuing of corticosteroids.

The event saw participation from over 250 stakeholders of rare diseases who joined in virtually by audio/video on the Zoom platform from around the world, with a majority of attendees concentrated in the Indian subcontinent and the United States. The conference was held over 4 days from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each day, which accommodated participation by speakers and attendees from both the eastern and western hemispheres. The agenda over 4 days holistically covered broad topics of interest to different stakeholder groups such as representatives from organizations working toward policy frameworks for rare diseases or orphan drugs (Days 1, 4), biomedical research institutions (Day 2), patient advocacy organizations (Day 3), and patient advocacy and engagement offices within Industry (Day 4). In this meeting report, we summarize the key highlights from each day of this conference, with a perspective on future directions encouraging cross-border multistakeholder collaborations to maximize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in rare disease diagnosis, research, clinical trials, and treatment access. Each day included a keynote lecture on the theme of the day followed by a series of individual speaker presentations and/or a panel discussion. The goal was to understand current barriers and bottlenecks in the rare disease ecosystem. The discussions also helped highlight gaps and identify potential solutions that can be achieved through building multistakeholder collaborations across international borders, which we believe IndoUSrare is uniquely positioned to do with organizational programs such as rare patient foundation alliance, technology-enabled patient concierge, research corps, and corporate alliance program. The inaugural conference of the then 2+-year-old IndoUSrare organization laid the foundation for ongoing engagement of stakeholders between the two countries - the United States and India.

It is caused by the inheritance of sequence variants in the <i>ALDH3A2</i> gene, which codes for fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH). Universal signs of the condition are congenital ichthyosis, spastic paresis of the lower and upper limbs, and reduced intellectual ability. In addition to this clinical triad, patients with SLS experience dry eyes and decreased visual acuity caused by a progressive retinal degeneration. Examination of the retina in patients with SLS often reveals glistening yellow crystal-like deposits surrounding the fovea. This crystalline retinopathy often develops in childhood and is considered pathognomonic for the disease. The metabolic disorder typically shortens lifespan to half that of the unaffected population. However, now that patients with SLS live longer, it becomes increasingly important to understand the natural course of the disease. Our case describes a 58-year-old woman with advanced SLS whose ophthalmic examination illustrates the end-stage of the retinal degeneration. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography confirm the disease is restricted to the neural retina with dramatic thinning of the macula. This case is unique since it is among the most advanced both in terms of chronological age and severity of retinal disease. While the accumulation of fatty aldehydes, alcohols, and other precursor molecules is the probable cause of retinal toxicity, a more complete understanding of the course of retinal degeneration may aid in the development of future treatments. The aim of our presentation of this case is to increase awareness of the disease and to foster interest in therapeutic research which may benefit patients with this rare condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":75218,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic advances in rare disease","volume":"3 ","pages":"26330040221122496"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/d0/7b/10.1177_26330040221122496.PMC10032463.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10349834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
