A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of Efficacy and Safety of Low-dose Telitacicept for Prevention of Flares in SLE Patients With Low Disease Activity
About This Trial
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-center clinical trial. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose telitacicept for prevention of flares in SLE patients with low disease activity.
