Approximately 30-40% of patients
with cutaneous lupus erythematosus
(CLE) are not responding well to
antimalarials

In patients with long-standing disease or high disease activity, a variety of other immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory drugs are used with varying success. To date, no drug has been specifically approved for the treatment of CLE and there is an unmet need for therapies with novel mechanisms of action targeting the inflammation in severe CLE that are more effective and safer than current treatment.
