Human Genome Sciences (HGS) has reported continuation data from a Phase II study of BENLYSTA™ (belimumab, formerly LymphoStat-B®) showing sustained improvement in patients with active systemic lupus after four years of treatment. The data was presented at the EULAR 2009 scientific meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Early results from a 52-week Phase III study of BENLYSTA™ are expected to be announced in July and results from a 76-week study are scheduled to be released in November.
BENLYSTA™ is being co-developed and commercialized by HGS and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).
The HGS website has the full release about this additional Phase II data.

This is great news :)
I am on a trial with Rituximab - which is also monoclonal antibody treatment... this could be the great Lupus hope! What do you think?
