flag FDA approves Roche’s Gazyva for lupus nephritis, showing improved kidney recovery when combined with standard therapy.

flag 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. flag Nearly half of patients on Gazyva plus standard care achieved complete renal response, compared to 33.1% on standard treatment alone. flag The drug, which targets B cells, also reduced proteinuria and corticosteroid use. flag A shorter 90-minute infusion wait time was approved after initial doses, enabling twice-yearly treatments. flag Gazyva is the first therapy shown to help patients achieve full kidney recovery. flag The European Medicines Agency is reviewing the drug for approval.
