Summary

Prospective Registry Investigating Maternal, Infant, and Lactation Outcomes in Anifrolumab Users (PRIMULA Lac) is a Post Marketing Requirements (PMR) study designed to fulfill the FDA post-marketing requirements. The study will collect data about the presence of anifrolumab in human breast milk and serum (maternal and infant) among lactating individuals who receive anifrolumab therapeutically.

Detailed description

PRIMULA Lac is an open-label, open enrollment, post marketing study to assess concentrations of anifrolumab in breast milk and serum in lactating individuals who are receiving anifrolumab therapeutically, and to evaluate exposure on the breastfed infant. Milk collection will occur at a series of 14 timepoints. Maternal serum will be collected Day 1 (pre-dose and 0-4 hours post-dose), Day 12, and approximately Day 29 (immediately preceding subsequent dose). Infant serum will be collected on approximately Day 30 following the next dose and after 24 hours of breast feeding. Maternal and infant adverse events (AEs) will be actively collected for the duration of the study. Total duration of participation for each participant will be approximately 1 month. The objective of this lactation study is to assess presence of anifrolumab in breast milk and serum (maternal and infant) among lactating individuals who receive anifrolumab therapeutically and to evaluate exposure in the breastfed infant. This is a Post Marketing Requirements (PMR) study designed to fulfill the FDA post-marketing requirements.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Anifrolumab	Anifrolumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to subunit 1 of the type 1 interferon receptor, which was developed based on the evidence supporting the role of type 1 interferon pathway in SLE (Furie 2017). Clinical trial evidence from TULIP 1 and TULIP 2 have showed that monthly intravenous administration of anifrolumab led to a higher percentage of patients with a response, assessed with the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-based Composite Lupus Assessment, compared with patients receiving placebo (Furie 2019; Morand 2020). Moreover, the phase II MUSE study showed that administration of anifrolumab resulted in substantially reduce disease activity, as measured by the SLE Responder Index, compared to patients receiving placebo (Furie 2017). These data resulted with applications to the FDA and the EMA, leading to approval by them in July 2021 and February 2022, respectively, for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe SLE who are receiving standard therapy.
