Anifrolumab Trial for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug, Anifrolumab, is effective and safe for pediatric participants with moderate to severe active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) while on background standard of care therapy. Researchers will also be testing how the body processes a drug by measuring how quickly the drug is absorbed by the body, how quickly it is broken down by the body, and how long it remains in the body (pharmacokinetics). Subjects will be asked to come into the Rheumatology clinic for blood, hepatitis/HIV, urine, and pregnancy testing, physical exam, an electrocardiogram (ECG), questionnaire completion, medical record review, corticosteroid use, and administration of study drug. Anifrolumab is administered as an infusion every 4 weeks over the course of the study.
