Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the regulatory effect of Telitacicept on antibody titers in primary antiphospholipid syndrome patients carrying high-risk antiphospholipid antibody profiles.

Description:

This is a single center, randomized controlled trial in Ruijin Hospital. The enrolled patients will be randomized in a 1: 1 ratio to receive either SOC+Telitacicept or SOC treatment.Telitacicept is administered subcutaneously at a dose of 160mg once a week for 48 weeks.
