Tabalumab (LY 2127399) is an anti-B-cell activating factor (BAFF) human monoclonal antibody designed for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and B cell malignancies.[1][2] Tabalumab was developed by Eli Lilly and Company.

A phase III clinical trial for rheumatoid arthritis was halted in Feb 2013.[3] In September 2014, a second phase III trial focussing on treating systemic lupus erythematosus, was terminated early as the study failed to meet its primary endpoint.[4]
