Abstract: 【Abstract】 The exploration of novel targeted therapies for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has always been a research hot topic in China and other countries. In recent years, there has been an increasingly in?depth understanding of the pathogenesis of SLE. The approval of belimumab, telitacicept, and anifrolumab for clinical applications marked a breakthrough in the treatment of SLE. In addition, novel agents targeting other B?cell/plasma cell antigens, T cells, neutrophils, and multiple inflammatory signaling pathways are emerging, which may provide more treatment options for SLE. This review summarizes research progress in targeted therapies for SLE based on the latest clinical trials, providing a basis for individualized treatment of SLE.
