From the Ritux3 trial, we showed that baseline serum BAFF levels were higher in pemphigus patients than in healthy donors (308 ± 13 pg/mL versus 252 ± 28 pg/mL, p=0.037) and in patients with early relapse compared who didn’t (368 ± 92 vs 297 ± 118 pg/mL, p=0.036). Here, TNFSF13B is linked to pemphigus.
