Sifalimumab is a human monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of SLE, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis.[1] It targets interferon a.[2]
Sifalimumab was developed by MedImmune; as of 2017 development had been terminated in favor of moving a competing internal product, anifrolumab, into Phase III trials.[3][4][5]
