1 Lupus Nephritis New (?) Treatments Aurélie HUMMEL Service de Néphrologie Hôpital Necker Enfants-Malades Paris

2 Introduction Lupus nephritis : 30-50% of patients with lupus = mortality risk factor Mok Series Life expectancy patients with lupus - 53% with lupus nephritis = - 15,1 yrs - classes : I : 1%, II : 6% III : 19%, IV : 47%, III/IV + V : 10% = 76% V pure : 16% - SMR (/general pop) : 4,8 without nephritis 9,8 if proliferative lesions 14 if renal insufficiency 63 if ESRD Mok, Arthritis Rheum 2013

3 Introduction Treatment goals : - obtain remission - prevent new flare - reduce side effects = to limit Lupus nephritis impact BIOPSIE INDUCTION MAINTENANCE

4 Induction What we ve learnt

5 Induction treatment 6 month response = predicts renal survival NEJM 1992 (EP) : CS + CYC PO ± EP 61/86 patients (- CR/ESRD/death) separated by proteinuria reduction at 6 month Maintain 10 years follow up Best predictive factor : 1 st year proteinuria Tamirou, Arthritis Rhumatism 2015

6 Steroids Morbi-mortality risk factor Long term follow up of 230 patients with lupus nephritis - 20 years survival : 90,5% - Mortality causes : -Infections : 50% -Cardiovascular diseases 20,8% - Cancer 12,5% Less is enough 2012 EULAR Recommandations 3 bolus of 500 à 750 mg IV 0,5 mg/kg/day for 1 month (+ in severe forms?) progressive reduction for how long? Historic treatment N=30 modern treatment N=30 Initial steroid dose 49 mg/j 22 mg/j M6 steroids dose 4,5 g 1,7 g M6 CYC dose 5g (0-16,8) 3g (0-4,5) M12 CR + PR 63% 87% Toxicity 67% 7% Yap, NDT 2012 R Irastorza G Autoimmun Rev 2014

7 Steroids Steroid free? -> Rituxilup : 50 consecutives patients Solumedrol 500 mg J1 J15 Rituximab J1 J15 MMF max 3 g/jour By S52 : -CR (52%) -PR (34%) -12 relapses (median W65) But - 44% pure class V - 45 yrs, (40% >50 yrs) Condon Ann Rheum Dis 2013

8 PROBABILITY OF NOT DOUBLING CREATININ Cyclophosphamide Cyclophosphamide is effective -to prevent relapse -to prevent deterioration of renal function But toxic Donadio, NEJM 1978, Austin, NEJM 1986, Boumpas, lancet 1992

9 Cyclophosphamide Less is better 6 g EUROLUPUS Trial Steroids azathioprin 2 mg/kg 3 g 90 patients with lupus nephritis, 2/3 proliferative 85% caucasiens 1st flare fot >80% Creatinin 11,5 mg/l, Albumin 30,3 g/l, protu 3,03 g/d follow up 41 mois Houssiau, Arthritis Rhumatism 2002

10 Cyclophosphamide Efficacy Tolerance Houssiau, Arthritis Rhumatism 2002

11 Mycophenolate mofetil MMF as good as CYC Ginzler : patients, % black or hispanic - classes 3, 4 and 5-6 month follow up -> MMF > CYC IV (CR=22,5% vs 5,8%) No / Pu, Creat, Hu -> less infections in MMF group ALMS 1 st part : patients - 40% white, 33% asiatic, 27% others - class 4 : 68,1% - creat 100μmol/l, prot 4 g/g - 6 month follow up - end point : prot <3g/j ou <50% BL -> MMF = CYC IV (56,2% vs 53%) Ginzler NEJM 2005 Appel, JASN 2009

12 Mycophenolate mofetil MMF better than CYC? Ginzler : patients, % black or hispanic -> MMF > CYC IV ALMS 1 st part : Ginzler NEJM 2005 Appel, JASN 2009

13 Induction : conclusion STEROIDS 3 bolus 500 mg 0,5 mg/kg/d 12 months + CYC Low dose X CYC High Dose =? = < (?) MMF 2-3 g/day caucasiens Blacks/hispaniques
