Frequently asked questions about Rontalizumab

What is Rontalizumab used for?

Rontalizumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody that was studied for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It was evaluated in patients with moderately to severely active disease. It is not an approved therapy and remains in clinical development, with Phase 2 testing completed.

What does Rontalizumab target?

Rontalizumab targets multiple interferon-alpha subtypes, including IFNA1, IFNA2, IFNA5, IFNA6, IFNA8, and IFNA10. It acts as an inhibitor of these interferon-alpha proteins, which are implicated in the immune dysregulation seen in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Who is developing Rontalizumab?

Rontalizumab was developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. Roche sponsored the clinical program evaluating the antibody in systemic lupus erythematosus.

What phase is Rontalizumab in?

Rontalizumab is in Phase 2 development. One Phase 2 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active. The drug is investigational and has not been approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is Rontalizumab in?

Rontalizumab was studied in the completed Phase 2 trial NCT00962832, titled a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rontalizumab in patients with moderately to severely active systemic lupus erythematosus. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 238 patients across the United States, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Poland, and Russia.

Is Rontalizumab the same as other interferon-alpha inhibitors?

Rontalizumab is a distinct monoclonal antibody that inhibits multiple interferon-alpha subtypes, including IFNA1, IFNA2, IFNA5, IFNA6, IFNA8, and IFNA10. It was developed specifically by Roche for systemic lupus erythematosus and is not interchangeable with other therapies.
