Uses

Investigated for use/treatment in autoimmune diseases, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma, lymphoma (non-hodgkin's), and leukemia (lymphoid).

How Atacicept works

Atacicept contains the soluble TACI receptor that binds to the cytokines BLyS and APRIL. These cytokines are members of the tumor necrosis factor family that promote B-cell survival and autoantibody production associated with certain autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Current data indicates that levels of BLyS and APRIL are elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, B-cell malignancies and multiple sclerosis. Atacicept has been shown to affect several stages of B-cell development and may inhibit the survival of cells responsible for making antibodies.
