BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE. The role of type I interferons (IFN) in innate and adaptive immunity has been extensively studied, establishing a key role for type I IFNs in immune homeostasis. With growing evidence that type I IFNs play an important role in autoimmune diseases, inhibition of type I IFN biological activity with Anifrolumab represents a significant therapeutic option in SLE. Phase II and III clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the drug in patients with moderate-to-severe active disease. OBJECTIVES. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse events associated with Anifrolumab therapy in a multicenter cohort of patients with SLE. Secondary objectives of the study are: - to evaluate the efficacy of therapy on different types of clinical manifestations; - to assess the impact of therapy on quality of life and other patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs); - to evaluate the steroid-sparing potential of therapy; - to assess the speed of therapeutic action on different clinical manifestations; - to identify predictive variables of clinical response to therapy; - to evaluate drug retention rate; - to assess the efficacy of therapy in reducing organ damage accumulation. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ENDPOINTS. Primary efficacy endpoints: - Percentage of patients in remission (DORIS criteria) at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months; - Percentage of patients in low disease activity state (LLDAS) at 6, 12, 2…
