BENLYSTA APPROVED FOR USE IN CANADA 

 

Benlysta, a lupus drug approved earlier this year by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, has been approved by Health Canada, FDA's counterpart in the North American country.  This infusion drug is the first FDA-approved lupus treatment in more than 50 years.

 

Since its approval in March of this year, Benlysta has been made available to many lupus patients in the U.S., including some  LFNC clients and members.

 

The drug also recently received a positive opinion  

from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) and may soon be approved for use throughout the European Union (EU).

 

 

LFNC's FY 2011 ANNUAL REPORT 

 

We are pleased to present our Fiscal Year 2011 (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011) Annual Report, and take this opportunity to thank all our clients, members, donors and supporters for partnering with us to achieve our vision of life without lupus.

 

It was a great year for our programs and client services, as well as for lupus research, highligted by the FDA approval of the first lupus drug in more than 50 years!
