Retrospective Medical Chart Review Study to Describe the Experience of SLE Patients Treated With Anifrolumab in the Early Access Programs. (ERYTHRO)

May 8, 2025 updated by: AstraZeneca

ERYTHRO Retrospective Medical Chart Review Study to Describe the Experience of SLE Patients Treated With Anifrolumab in the Early Access Programs.

The ERYTHRO study is a retrospective medical chart review study of patients in the AMANA and ATUc Early Access Programs (EAPs) across a number of countries, to assess anifrolumab usage and patient experience in treating SLE in a real-world setting. Since patient safety data are already collected and reported according to regulatory requirements through EAPs, this study will not collect safety data.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-country, multi-site retrospective chart review study that will use data extracted from the medical charts of SLE patients who participated in the anifrolumab EAPs AMANA or ATUc in France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the UK. Patient level data will be captured longitudinally for each patient over a 12- to 18-month period. The study period will include retrospective data collection covering a minimum 6- month baseline period prior to the index date and retrospective data collection covering a minimum 6-month FU period from the first Anifrolumab infusion. The index date is defined as the date of first anifrolumab infusion during the indexing period. The indexing period is between the earliest date of patient enrolment into the EAP and the date of last new patient enrolment into EAP. The EAPs have closed by end of February 2023 in all countries included in the ERYTHRO study. One data extraction will be performed per patient.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease activity assessed by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) or any of its components at 6 months from the date of first anifrolumab infusion
Time Frame: 6-month longitudinal data capture
The SLEDAI-2K stands for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index -2000. It measures disease activity in the 28 days prior to and at the time point of the assessment. It is a global index and includes 24 clinical symptoms and laboratory variables that are weighted by the type of manifestation, but not by severity or dynamic of the individual item. The SLEDAI-2K includes scoring for antibodies (anti-dsDNA positive or negative) and low complement, as well as some renal and hematologic parameters. The total score ranges between 0 and 105, with higher scores representing increased disease activity. In practice it is expected that SLEDAI scores will be skewed towards 0, with scores higher than 20 being rare.
6-month longitudinal data capture
Disease activity assessed by the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) at 6 months from the date of first anifrolumab infusion
Time Frame: 6-month longitudinal data capture

The PGA is a single-item visual analogue scale that describes the physician assessment of a patient's disease and its impact on daily functioning at the time of assessment. The scale ranges from 0 (asymptomatic disease and no limitation of normal activities) to 3 (severe disease and limitation of normal activities).

0 - none

  1. - mild
  2. - moderate
  3. - severe
6-month longitudinal data capture

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
2. Proportion of patients achieving all four criteria for low disease activity (LLDAS) at 6 months from first anifrolumab infusion
Time Frame: 6-month longitudinal data capture

LLDAS assessment requires all of the following criteria to be met:

  1. SLEDAI-2K score ≤ 4, with no activity in major organ systems (renal, central nervous system, cardiopulmonary, vasculitis, or fever),
  2. No new SLEDAI-2K assessed disease activity compared with the previous visit,
  3. PGA score ≤ 1,
  4. Prednisone or equivalent dosage ≤ 7.5 mg/day, and
  5. No non-standard immunosuppressant dosing, with antimalarials allowed.
6-month longitudinal data capture
3. The frequency overall and by intensity (mild / moderate and severe) of flares as assessed by the Revised Safety of Estrogens in Lupus National Assessment - SLE Disease Activity Index Flare Index (rSFI) at baseline and during follow up.
Time Frame: 6-month longitudinal data capture
Worsening of symptoms, referred to as flares, will be defined based on the the Revised Safety of Estrogens in Lupus National Assessment-Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index Flare Index (rSFI). Flares will be categorized into mild/moderate and severe flares as per the rSFI definitions.
6-month longitudinal data capture
4. The extent of skin manifestations over time as described by Cutaneous LE Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) during baseline and at 6 months after the data of first anifrolumab infusion
Time Frame: 6-month longitudinal data capture

The Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) consists of 2 scores; the first summarizes the activity of the disease and the second is a measure of the damage done by the disease. Activity is scored on the basis of erythema, scale/hypertrophy of skin and mucous membranes, acute hair loss, and nonscarring alopecia. Damage is scored in terms of dyspigmentation and scarring, including scarring alopecia.

Study participants are asked whether dyspigmentation due to cutaneous lupus erythematosus lesions usually remains visible for more than 12 months, which is taken to be permanent. If the dyspigmentation lasts longer than 12 months after the active lesion has resolved, then the score is doubled. The scores are calculated by simple addition and range from 0-70 for activity and 0-56 for damage, with higher scores indicating worse disease activity/damage.

6-month longitudinal data capture
6. Usage of anifrolumab, including adherence
Time Frame: 12- to 18-month longitudinal data capture
Adherence is the actual number of infusions received out of the expected number of infusions during a specified duration
12- to 18-month longitudinal data capture
7. Usage of anifrolumab, including persistence
Time Frame: 12- to 18-month longitudinal data capture
Persistence is the time on treatment as per indicated treatment interval
12- to 18-month longitudinal data capture
8. Baseline patient characteristics
Time Frame: 12- to 18-month longitudinal data capture
  1. Demographics (age, gender, ethnicity)
  2. Patients medical history

    • Family history of autoimmune diseases
    • Baseline comorbid conditions
    • SLE treatment history
  3. Lifestyle (smoking history, alcohol consumption history)
12- to 18-month longitudinal data capture
9. Describe baseline comorbidities described by Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) or any of its components
Time Frame: 12- to 18-month longitudinal data capture
Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) predicts the mortality for a patient who may have a range of concurrent conditions, includes 17 chronic diseases in estimating the CCI. The CCI predicts 10- year mortality risk from chronic comorbidities.
