Big News in Lupus Research
This was a great week for Lupus research. Human Genome Sciences, Inc. and GlaxoSmithKline PLC announced that BENLYSTA™ (belimumab, formerly LymphoStat-B®) met the primary endpoint in a 52 week study. This is the first of two pivotal Phase 3 trials in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. This was a placebo-controlled study in which BENLYSTA™ showed significant improvement of disease activity when compared to placebo with adverse reaction rates comparable to placebo. The patients taking BENLYSTA™ were also able to reduce their steroid need.
BENLYSTA™ works by inhibiting BLyS. BLyS is a protein required for B-lymphocytes to mature into plasma B cells. Plasma B cells are white blood cells that produce antibodies and in Lupus they produce autoantibodies that attack the body's own tissues. People with Lupus often have elevated BLyS levels.
The results of the second, longer trial will be announced this fall. If this trial is also successful and BENLYSTA™ gets FDA approval it will be the first new treatment for Lupus in over 50 years and the very first drug developed specifically for Lupus since it's discovery over a century ago.
While a big step in the treatment of Lupus, this is only the beginning. This is not a cure for Lupus. Lupus is a complex, individualized disease that requires complex, individualized treatments. Much more research and more treatments are needed. BENLYSTA™'s success shows that there is hope and will hopefully help get some momentum going that will eventually lead to a cure!

Fly Up To Heaven129 weeks agoHello friend,
""If kisses were water, I would give you the sea. If hugs were leaves, I would give you a tree. If luv were a planet, I would give you a galaxy, if friendship were life I would give you mine. Your love is your heart, your heart is your spouse, your spouse is your future, your future is your destiny, your destiny is your ambition, your ambition is your aspiration, your aspiration is your motivation, your motivation is your belief, your belief is your peace, your peace is your target, your target is heaven, heaven is like hell without FRIENDS. It's "world best friends week" send this to all your good friends. Even me, if I am one of them. See how many u get back. If u gets more than 3 you are really a lovable person"
Peace'n'Love -
