Active Biotech has Selected a New Candidate Drug for the Treatment of Lupus
LUND, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 25, 2002--Active Biotech has selected a Candidate Drug, ABR-215757, within the SLE project for further development into clinical phase.

The Candidate Drug ABR-215757 is developed for the treatment of SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), which is an autoimmune disease with very few available treatments today. The disease affects mainly women of fertile age and progresses in flares with relatively symptom free periods in between. Current treatments of SLE are NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), corticosteroids, antimalarians or cytotoxic drugs like for example Cyclophosphamide. The autoimmune attack affects several different organ systems and many patients suffer from serious secondary disease symptoms such as renal disorders as the disease progresses.
