FDA approves Roche’s Gazyva for lupus nephritis, showing improved kidney recovery when combined with standard therapy.
The FDA has approved Roche’s Gazyva (obinutuzumab) for treating adult patients with active lupus nephritis when used with standard therapy, based on trials showing improved kidney response rates.
Nearly half of patients on Gazyva plus standard care achieved complete renal response, compared to 33.1% on standard treatment alone.
The drug, which targets B cells, also reduced proteinuria and corticosteroid use.
A shorter 90-minute infusion wait time was approved after initial doses, enabling twice-yearly treatments.
Gazyva is the first therapy shown to help patients achieve full kidney recovery.
The European Medicines Agency is reviewing the drug for approval.
