Popis: Objective: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the type I interferon (IFN) receptor inhibitor anifrolumab (AFM, Safnelo®) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in real-life clinical practice over an observation period of 6 months.Material and methods. The prospective 6-month study included 21 patients with SLE fulfilling the 2012 SLICC criteria, predominantly women (n=17,81%), median age – 31 [27; 46] years, disease duration – 9 [6.0; 11.0] years. Standard laboratory values and immunological markers of SLE were examined in all patients. The SLEDAI-2K index was used to determine the activity of SLE, and the severity of the mucocutaneous syndrome was assessed using the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) index. Organ damage was assessed using the SLICC/ACR Damage Index (DI). After 6 months, the achievement of low activity was assessed according to the Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) indexResults and discussion. At the time of inclusion in the study, the mean SLEDAI-2K activity index for the group was 8 [6.0; 10.0] points, the median CLASI index – 8.6±8.2 points, 81% of patients had skin and mucosal lesions, 66% had non-erosive polyarthritis, and high immunological activity was observed in all cases. Various irreversible organ damage was observed in 86 of patients. The average DI was 2.2±1.5 points. At the start of AFM therapy, all patients received glucocorticoids (GCs) at a mean dose of 10.7±5.6 mg/day, 52% of patients received a dose above 10 mg/day, 76% of patients continued to take hydroxychloroquine, and 33% of patients took immunosuppressants. Significant positive dynamics were observed with AFM therapy. The average CLASI index for the group after 3 months of treatment was 1.2±4.1 points, after 6 months – 0.3±1.2 points (p
