We are focused on developing new therapies for the treatment of immunological conditions including SLE and have another SLE drug in clinical development. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the patients and clinical investigators who made the EMBODY™ program possible. It has produced a comprehensive dataset and we look forward to sharing the findings with the scientific community,” said in a statement Professor Dr. Iris Loew-Friedrich, Chief Medical Officer and Executive VP, UCB.
