Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

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).

A study of CM313 in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus

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 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).

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) medication that has been very effective in reducing lupus disease activity and keeping patients stable with reduced symptoms. Despite a track record of safety with regard to infection compared to traditional immunosuppressive agents, the risk of HCQ retinal toxicity escalates with continued use. Evaluation using sensitive standard of care approaches suggests nearly a third of patients accrue retinal damage. Data are needed to accurately weigh the balance between accumulating ocular exposure of HCQ versus the risk of disease flare in a population that may have more inactive disease than younger patients. The purpose of this trial is to address the safety of withdrawal of HCQ in SLE patients =60 years old. The central hypothesis is that HCQ can be safely discontinued in stable/quiescent patients assessed by validated disease activity and flare instruments in the context of serologic, cytokine and transcriptomic profiling. Patients will be randomized to either the placebo or active arm and followed every 2 months for one year to assess disease activity and flares.

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.

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.

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.
