Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

A Study to evaluate the PK, PD, efficacy, and safety of Anifrolumab in children with moderate to severe active SLE

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with abnormal activation of B lymphocytes, which may result in many adverse consequences and even death if not treated actively. Telitacicept, approved conditionally in China in March 2021, is a biologic agent targeting B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS）and a proliferating inducing ligand (APRIL) dually for patients with active SLE patients who have not responded to conventional treatment. The investigators hope to screen predictive biomarkers of efficacy and explore the mechanism of difference in efficacy of Telitacicept with Chinese characteristics by omics.

A study of CM313 in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus

This is a multicenter prospective study to assess clinical characteristics, demographics, treatment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of lupus nephritis (LN) participants across 5 Gulf countries (United Arab Emirates [UAE], Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman).

The prevalence of chronic primary headache in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is 54.4%. Several studies have shown that the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at the primary motor cortex (M1), primary sensory cortex (S1), or dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is effective as adjuvant therapy in primary headache. Using a double-blind design, this clinical trial study will investigate the effectiveness of tDCS as an adjuvant therapy in chronic daily headaches in SLE, by also comparing the effectiveness of administration in the M1, S1, and DLPFC. The primary endpoint that will be assessed is the frequency of headaches per week, with the secondary endpoints are the degree of headache, quality of life, sleep quality, level of depression, and use of analgesics.

Women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a high risk of placenta-mediated complications, which can lead to substantial cardiac morbidities in affected women and their offspring. In addition, maternal autoantibodies, which are actively transferred across the placenta during pregnancy, can affect the cardiovascular health of SLE offspring. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is effective in preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes in SLE and might be beneficial in preventing fetal cardiovascular damage mediated by maternal autoantibodies. However, there are concerns that HCQ might cause maternal and neonatal cardiac toxicity. A novel imaging technique (i.e. speckle tracking echocardiography), which allows early identification of cardiac dysfunction, has proven superior to any other in assessing cardiac function in mothers and neonates experiencing placenta-mediated complications and in identifying drug cardiotoxicity. Yet, there has been no study using speckle tracking echocardiography to evaluate the cardiovascular health of pregnant SLE women and their offspring, as well as the potential adverse cardiac effect of HCQ. Moreover, due to unavailability of assays, HCQ dosing in SLE is generally done blindly, without checking drug levels. To fill these key knowledge gaps, the investigators aim to: 1) assess the impact of placenta-mediated complications on maternal and neonatal cardiac function, 2) evaluate if HCQ exposure (as measured by whole-blood levels) is associated with maternal and neonatal outcomes including cardiac toxicity, and 3) determine the effect of maternal autoantibodies on neonatal cardiac function. Ultimately, our proposal will help optimize reproductive and cardiovascular outcomes in lupus women and their offspring.

This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety of belimumab subcutaneous (SC) in Chinese pediatric participants with SLE who have completed 48 weeks belimumab Intravenous (IV) treatment in 213560 study (NCT04908865)

The study will attempt to put into practice a shared decision making (SDM) strategy, using an individualized, computerized decision- aid (DA) for Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

The Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) database, established in 2006, is a multi-site database between the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW).

The objective of this study is to collect and assess the information about long-term safety and effectiveness of Benlysta for intravenous injection and Benlysta for subcutaneous injection (hereinafter referred to as "Benlysta") in daily clinical practice. The aim of conducting this drug use investigation (DUI) in all subjects until data are accumulated from a certain number of subjects after Benlysta being marketed, data will be collected on safety and effectiveness of Benlysta in an early stage and thereby to take the necessary measures for proper use of Benlysta. Approximately 600 subjects will be enrolled in to this study. The observation period per subject will be 52 weeks from the start of Benlysta administration. BENLYSTA is the registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.
