New lupus partnership with FDA aims to end drug trials’ history of failure
Just three lupus drugs have been approved by the FDA in six decades. A new partnership is looking to change that.
Lupus is a disease long-plagued by failed clinical trials. And hopeful patients, many of them young women of color, are waiting — just three lupus drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in six decades. A key partnership is looking to change that.
On Wednesday, the nonprofit Lupus Research Alliance announced it was entering into a public-private partnership with the FDA. Together, they created what lupus advocates hope will be an engine for innovation: the Lupus Accelerating Breakthroughs Consortium, or Lupus ABC.
