Aurinia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AUPH) announced positive results from its Phase 1 single-ascending-dose (SAD) study of aritinercept (AUR200), a dual inhibitor targeting B cell-activating factor (BAFF) and proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). The study evaluated six different doses (5mg to 300mg) and placebo in 61 healthy subjects.
The trial demonstrated that aritinercept was well-tolerated across all dose levels, with no treatment-related Grade ≥3 adverse events, serious adverse events, or discontinuations. Key adverse events included injection site reactions (24% aritinercept vs. 13% placebo), headache (11% vs. 7%), and upper respiratory tract infection (7% vs. 0%).
The drug showed significant pharmacodynamic effects, with mean reductions from baseline to Day 28 of up to 48% in immunoglobulin A (IgA), 55% in immunoglobulin M (IgM), and 20% in immunoglobulin G (IgG). Based on these results, Aurinia plans to initiate clinical studies in at least two autoimmune diseases in the second half of 2025.
