Voclosporin (trans-ISA247) is a Cyclosporin A derivative and immunosuppressive compound currently being investigated for the treatment of psoriasis, lupus nephritis and for the prevention of organ rejection in kidney transplant patients. An animal study showed that a lower blood level of Voclosporin was able to produce a greater or similar inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation, expression of T-cell activation surface antigens, and T-cell cytokine production compared to Cyclosporin A. Voclosporin has been shown to be an efficacious and safe immunosuppressant in phase IIb and phase III trials in renal transplant recipients and in plaque psoriasis patients. In clinical trials, Voclosporin added to standard-of-care induction therapy for lupus nephritis increases complete renal remission (CRR) rates, but higher rates of adverse events including death were observed.
