Abstract
Clinical trials of BAFF blockade with belimumab have shown partial efficacy for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), so other therapeutic options are required. Here, the authors present a new small molecule inhibitor that targets NIK with a similar efficacy to BAFF inhibition in two mouse models of SLE.
