Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Cutaneous"

The investigators are conducting an open-label clinical trial determining the effects of UVA1 phototherapy on cutaneous lupus (CLE) patients. Past research on systemic lupus (SLE) subjects indicates that this treatment is likely to be effective in treating cutaneous lupus with few side effects. The fact that most CLE patients are seen at dermatology clinics also increases the usefulness of this study because there is a large probability that phototherapy treatment will be accessible for many of the patients that stand to benefit from it.

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK, the action of a drug in the body over a period of time) of multiple intravenous (IV) administrations of CNTO 136 in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The secondary goal of this study was to assess the pharmacodynamics (biochemical and physiological effects of a drug and the mechanisms of action), immune response, and clinical response.

Primary Objective: - To investigate the efficacy on skin manifestation of 16 weeks treatment of once daily regimen of hydroxychloroquine sulphate (HCQ) in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with active skin manifestation (CLASI [Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index] activity score is ≥4) concomitant treatment with or without corticosteroid. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy on skin manifestation and the safety of 16 weeks treatment of once daily regiment of HCQ versus placebo as the reference group in patients with CLE and SLE with active skin manifestation (CLASI activity score is ≥4) concomitant treatment with or without corticosteroid. To investigate the safety of 16 weeks treatment of once daily regiment of HCQ in patients with CLE and SLE with active skin manifestation concomitant treatment with or without corticosteroid. To investigate the safety and efficacy of 52 weeks long-term treatment of once daily regimen of HCQ in patients with CLE and SLE - To investigate the influence of the dose reduction of corticosteroid on CLE and SLE patients treated with HCQ concomitant with corticosteroid To investigate efficacy of once daily regimen of HCQ on systemic symptoms, musculoskeletal symptoms and immunological parameters in SLE patients.

This study is designed to examine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical effect of repeat dosing of GSK2646264 in patients with subacute and chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) lesions and in acute CLE like lesions induced by photoprovocation (PV). Current study is two group study. In Group A, Patients with fewer than two active lesions will be enrolled and exposed to photoprovocation (PV) for 3 consecutive days. Patients that develop PV lesions at any time during this period, as determined by the local investigative team, will receive 1% strength GSK2646264 on 1 lesion and placebo on 1 lesion daily and either 1% strength GSK2646264 or placebo on an area of uninvolved skin, for skin pharmacokinetic (PK) of study drug, for 28 days. In Group B, Patients that have a minimum of 2 active existing CLE lesions as determined by the investigators will be enrolled into group B and have one lesion treated with 1% GSK2646264 and 1 lesion with placebo. A completed patient will be defined as a subject who receives at least 25 days of study drug and completes the end of treatment biopsy (at day 28) and assessment. Thereafter patients will be followed for 28 days in Group A only or until complete resolution of induced PV lesions, as determined by the investigator.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib and lanraplenib (formerly GS-9876) in females with moderately-to-severely active cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and drug levels of BMS-986256 in participants with cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

Primary Objective: Assess the efficacy of SAR443122 in cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) Secondary Objectives: Assess the effect of SAR443122 on the physician's global assessment of disease activity (PhysGA - disease activity) Assess the effect of SAR443122 on CLE induced itch and overall pain Assess the effect of SAR443122 on the proportion of disease activity responders compared to placebo Assess the effect of SAR443122 on the CLASI components score Assess the effect of SAR443122 on the Investigator's global assessment for CLE (IGA-CLE) Assess oral cavities for patients with oral lesions Assess the disease specific quality of life (QoL) Assess the safety and tolerability of SAR443122 in patients with CLE Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) exposure of SAR443122 in patients with CLE

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of fumaric acid esters (Fumaderm®) in the treatment of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus with respect to proportion of responders based on the Revised Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (RCLASI) activity score for skin lesions at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment or at the latest assessment for patients who withdrew prematurely (Last Observation Carried Forward, LOCF).

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lenalidomide (Revlimid®) in subjects with Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE). The study drug will be used in an off-label indication to treat 6 subjects for 12 months each. Men and women over the age of 18, who have a biopsy proven diagnosis of CLE and who have failed standard treatment, will be included in the study.

The purpose of using the 595 nm Vbeam Perfecta™ flashlamp-excited, pulsed dye laser in this study is to help improve study patients' skin disease. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) often presents with disfiguring vascular lesions which are frequently difficult to treat with the available therapeutic measures, such as photoprotection, topical steroids, and antimalarials. Laser therapy provides an alternative treatment option for CLE patients. Although there has been documented experience with laser treatment in CLE patients, no study comparing treated lesions to the natural course of the disease has been conducted.
