Excerpt

Voclosporin is an orally available calcineurin inhibitor and potent immunosuppressive agent which is used in combination with mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids to treat acute lupus nephritis. Voclosporin may be associated with low rate of transient serum enzyme elevations during treatment but has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury with jaundice.
