Prevalence and factors associated with long-term remission in cutaneous lupus: A longitudinal cohort study of 141 cases
2022, Journal of the American Academy of DermatologyCitation Excerpt :These results confirm the negative impact of smoking in CLE. Indeed, smoking has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of HCQ in CLE,13,27 as well as those of belimumab28 and lenalidomide.29 Moreover, active smoking is associated with higher CLE activity assessed by CLASI.12
Toward a pathophysiology inspired treatment of VEXAS syndrome
2021, Seminars in HematologyCitation Excerpt :Anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL13, IL4, and IL27 were also found to be higher in the lenalidomide treated mice [32]. Lenalidomide has also been used in patients with cutaneous lupus with durable responses in approximately half of patients [33]. In MDS patients with deletion 5q-, lenalidomide mainly works by directly eliminating the abnormal cytogenetic clone by selectively inhibiting cells with the 5q- abnormality.
