Efficacy of initial combination with belimumab in newly diagnosed childhood-onset lupus nephritis: a single-centre historical control study
This study reported for the first time the effectiveness of combined belimumab therapy in a Chinese cohort of patients with cLN. The strategy of initial combination with belimumab helps achieve treatment targets earlier and faster GC tapering. And initial combination therapy in children with cLN with high disease activity may yield more significant benefits.
