    This product is suitable for patients with
    lupus who still have high disease activity after conventional treatment, and is suitable for adult patients
    with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who still have high disease activity (such as: anti-ds-DNA antibody positive and low complement, SELENA-SLEDAI score ≥8) and positive autoantibody on the basis of conventional treatment.

    This indication is conditionally approved
    based on the results of a Phase II clinical trial in adult patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who received conventional care and still had high disease activity.
    Full approval for this indication will depend on confirmatory randomized controlled trials demonstrating clinical benefit in this patient population [1].


    The recommended dose of this product is 160mg/time, administered once
    a week.

    During the administration of this product, after the clinician fully evaluates the safety and tolerability of the patient's use of this product, it is decided whether the dose
    needs to be reduced.
    If the dose needs to be reduced, the dose can be reduced to 80 mg per dose [1].


    Not for patients with co-severe active infection Tatanercept should not be used to treat patients

    with concomitant severe active infection.

    tatacept.
    Patients with active infection or severe impaired immune response should not use tatacept
    .
    Patients with a history of recurrent or chronic infection, or an underlying condition that predisposes to serious infection, should be treated with caution with tatacept
    .
    Patients who develop severe infections after treatment with tatacept should immediately stop the drug and start appropriate treatment
    .
