PROGRESSION AND PERSPECTIVE, A 20-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE ON SYSTEMATIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS THERAPEUTICS: A NARRATIVE REVIEW

Abstract

This study aims to examine efcacy and safety of current regimen in comparison to novel therapeutic regimens with treat-to-target strategies and agents consisting of non-steroidal immunosuppressants, biologics, and nonpharmacologic treatment options. This study also highlights future treatment options under investigation, aiming to identify potential avenues for improved patient care and disease control. Novel therapies have shown greater improvements in treatment of SLE which would cause decrease in use of steroids and more patient specic targeted therapies. This will help in identifying any knowledge gaps and propose future research directions to address the same and contribute to the enhancement of patient outcomes and quality of life by providing insights into optimal approaches to SLE management.
