Dublin, Jan. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Competitor Landscape: Lupus" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

"Competitor Landscape: Lupus", briefings contain evaluations of ongoing development activities within the market, together with analysis of current & potential future product positioning.

Key Highlights from the report

• Registration of a Phase III AURORA2 long-term extension study indicates efforts by Aurinia to gather additional safety data for voclosporin.
• GSK is currently the only company conducting pediatric SLE trials, which could provide a significant point of differentiation for belimumab vs. novel competitors, if successful.
• Inclusion of SRI-4 as a primary endpoint as opposed to SLEDAI-2K (primary endpoint used in baricitinib's Phase II SLE trial) is in line with competitors such as belimumab, and could allow physicians to draw indirect comparisons between therapies even in the absence of H2H trials.
