AUPH moving up > “We are thrilled by the results of the AURA study and voclosporin’s potential to shift the treatment paradigm for active lupus nephritis,” said Charles Rowland, CEO of Aurinia. “The ability to get more patients into remission and in a shorter period time than the current standard of care can have a significant impact on the long-term outcomes for these patients.”

“LN is a serious and devastating disease that can severely impact a patient’s life,” said William Pendergraft, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology & Hypertension, at the University of North Carolina and a Principal Investigator in the study. “Voclosporin has demonstrated it can nearly double the number of patients that achieve Complete Remission in the presence of very low corticosteroid exposure. Based on these data, I believe this drug has the potential to significantly improve the long-term prognosis of my patients afflicted with LN and could become an integral component of the standard of care.”

The Company will present the full efficacy (including pre-specified and ad hoc sub-analyses) and comprehensive safety data during a webcast presentation to be held at 8:00am ET. A link to the live webcast and slides will be available on the Investors section of the Company’s website at http://www.auriniapharma.com.
