Voclosporin, sold under the brand name Lupkynis, is a calcineurin inhibitor used as an immunosuppressant medication for the treatment of lupus nephritis. It is an analog of ciclosporin that has enhanced action against calcineurin and greater metabolic stability.
It was approved for medical use in the United States in January 2021, and in the European Union in September 2022. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers it to be a first-in-class medication.
