On May 10, we recognize World Lupus Day by remaining committed to deepening our understanding of lupus, a complex and often misdiagnosed disease affecting more than five million people worldwide.
Lupus can affect any part of the body and is difficult to manage, with only one treatment approved in the last 60 years. At Janssen, we understand the impact a diagnosis of lupus has on a person, and we are focused on advancing new therapies that may provide options for patients in the future. As we set on an exciting and new trajectory in lupus research, our scientists are collaborating with global researchers, healthcare providers, academics and patient organizations to progress the science and treatment for lupus patients around the world.
This World Lupus Day we take a moment to honor all of those impacted by lupus as we continue our mission to Reshape the Future of Immunology. Follow our efforts to raise awareness on Janssen Global social channels using #WorldLupusDay.
