ALMS TRIAL Primary Endpoint: Responders at Month 6 Response judged by blinded Clinical Endpoint Committee: Decrease in proteinuria to <3g if baseline nephrotic (≥3g/d) , or by ≥50% in patients ith subnephrotic (<3g/d) proteinuria and Stabilization of serum creatinine level (24-week level ± 25% of baseline),or improvement MMF IVC MMF was not superior to IVC (p = 0.575) Appel , Contreras, Dooley et al JASN 2009

  37. An Open Label Randomized Phase IV Study of the Safety and Efficacy of ACTHAR GEL in Patients with Membranous (Class V) Lupus Nephritis SCRN 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 9 12 Study Month Principal Investigator: Brad H. Rovin MD, Ohio State University • Primary Objectives: • To determine the safety and tolerability of Acthar Gel in patients with Class V lupus nephritis • To determine the efficacy of Acthar Gel in patients with Class V lupus nephritis as CRR+PRR Administration of Acthar Follow-Up • ARM 1. Acthar Gel 80 IU administered subcutaneously 2 times per week, 12 patients • ARM 2. Acthar Gel 80 IU administered subcutaneously 3 times per week, 13 patients

  38. Treatment of Severe LN in the Future • Treatment will still be divided into an induction and maintenance phase. • Induction therapy will consist of Cyclophosphamide (usually IV ) or MMF or Newer regimens e.g. older drugs combined with CNI’s, ACTH, proteosome inhibitors, or corticosteroid free Rituximab regimens. • Maintenance therapy will consist of MMF or AZA or rituximab or other newer agents . • Use of combinations of immunosuppressives will increase. • One Regimen Will Not Fit All

  39. Lupus and Kidney Disease • What are the kidneys – how do they work? ( what is a nephrologist?) • How does SLE involve the kidneys? • How do you know if you have kidney involvement? • Are there different patterns of Kidney disease with SLE? • What happened with SLE Kidney disease ( lupus nephritis )in the past ? • Can we treat kidney disease due to LN today? • How successful are we? • Will there be new ways to treat it tomorrow.
