Zahir AmouraGUEST
And as you said, the question raised whether biologics should be introduced early in the therapeutic strategy for lupus, which is a main issue for the lupus management.

Zahir AmouraGUEST
As you say, Marie Legato argued that biologics should no longer automatically be reserved until after conventional immunosuppressants fail.

Zahir AmouraGUEST
She emphasized that early treatment might mean introducing targeted therapy before conventional immunosuppression, before measurable damage occurs, or within the early years of the disease.

Zahir AmouraGUEST
Earlier targeted therapy may accelerate remission and renal response, reduce flares and glucocorticoid exposure, She also presented observational and postdoc evidence suggesting that early belimumab-based strategies may improve outcomes while acknowledging questions of cost and access.
