OM1 Expands Lupus Dataset to 56,000 Patients

The real-world data (RWD) company OM1 announced it has expanded its PremiOM ™ SLE lupus dataset. The expansion adds deep clinical data from patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and lupus nephritis to the database. In combination with additional data from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), this effectively doubles the RWD pool provided by the company, now covering 56,000 patients.

According to OM1, “The expansion comes at a critical time during Lupus Awareness Month, as the Lupus Foundation of America estimates 1.5 million Americans have a form of lupus, with 16,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Currently, there is no cure, limited treatment options are available, and little is known as to why certain patients develop the disease and present with varying symptoms. What’s more, disparities within the community are prevalent with 90% of those suffering with lupus being women, and progression of SLE and severity are two to three times more common among Black and Latina women compared with white women. With these known disparities, improved and more personalized insights are paramount to improving patient outcomes.”
