Research and Markets: Rituxan (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zbtx7f/rituxan_systemic) has announced the addition of the "Rituxan (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis) - Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022" report to their offering.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease that can affect any organ or tissue and is the prototypic autoimmune disease. While SLE can affect multiple major organ systems in the body, one of its most severe manifestations includes renal (kidney) involvement, known as lupus nephritis (LN).

The term LN refers to SLE patients with glomerulonephritis, and when the term LN is used, glomerular tissue injury in the kidneys is always involved. Renal injury without any glomerular involvement is classified as nephritis in a patient with SLE.

Rituxan is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the transmembrane antigen CD20 expressed on B-cells. Its binding to B-cells mediates their apoptotic death and depletion. Rituxan was initially developed for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and subsequently gained marketing approvals for use in RA, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and granulomatosis (Roche, 2013).
