overview

Are you up to date with the most recent developments in B-cell depletion therapy? In this live symposium, expert faculty will illustrate the role of B cells in the immunopathology of autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis and will discuss emerging B-cell depleting therapies that are showing promise for these diseases. Their mechanism of action (MOA) and key clinical data will be addressed and implications for future clinical practice will be explored.
