Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

Evaluate the activity and safety of oral tofacitinib in adult patients with discoid lupus erythematosus with or without concurrent SLE.

The purpose of this investigator initiated study is to determine the efficacy of curcumin on disease activity of subjects with systemic lupus erythematous. Curcumin has been found to have anti-inflammatory effects and has been found to improve disease activity in lupus patients. In addition, subjects with rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis have also found benefit for their disease activity.

This is a Phase I-II open- label single-dose study in subjects with significant refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), relapsing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Sharp's Syndrome (SS). This study will enroll a minimum of 20 subjects for RA, 20 subjects for SLE and 20 patients for SS. 6 week data of serum Tumor Necrosis Factor- alpha (TNFa), Interleukin- 6 (IL-6), C- Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Cluster of Differentiation (CD)4 +CD25 + Forkhead box P3(Foxp3) + regulatory T cells, Disease Activity Score for 28 joints (DAS-28) score and pain score will be collected in all patients who are enrolled in the study for the RA group (Baseline and 6 weeks after). For the SLE group, Transforming Growth Factor- beta (TGF-β), TNFa, IL-6, Interleukin- 17 (IL-17), CD3+CD8-IL17A+ T helper-17 (Th17) cells, CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells and the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Quality of Life Questionnaire (SLEQoL) score will be collected in all the subjects of this group. SS group will undergo the assessments of RA and SLE. Prior to the stem cell treatment, the patient will be assessed for 6 weeks by all the previously mentioned markers. Then, patients will receive the infusion of stromal vascular fraction cells containing the adult adipose derived stem cells 'aADSC' (single intravenous dose). The disease- modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or the standard SLE treatment will not be interrupted with the exception of systemic steroids (excluding minimal maintenance dose of one steroid) during the duration of the study. Follow up visits will take place at 6 weeks, 3 Months and 6 Months after the cell infusion. Safety will be monitored on an ongoing basis, and an interim safety review will be conducted by the Investigator(s) and Sponsor after the first 10 patients have been enrolled and treated in each group.

This was a double-blind, multi-centre, randomised, vehicle-controlled, within-subject phase 2a trial. The trial was designed to establish the efficacy and safety of delgocitinib cream in the treatment of adult subjects with discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE).

This is a first exploration of GLPG3970 in subjects with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to evaluate the effect on disease biomarkers and to determine its pharmacokinetics (PK) profile, safety and tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) biomarkers related to the investigational product (IP) mechanism of action and the pathophysiology of SLE.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of repeated administration of subcutaneous (SC) CEP-33457 for injection every 4 weeks over 72 weeks (18 doses) in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who have participated in a previous Cephalon sponsored clinical study of CEP-33457, and completed at least Visit 8 (Week 24 of that study).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MEDI-570 in adult subjects with moderately to severely active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

This study is designed to explore the use of myfortic ® in patients with active lupus erythematosus. Similar drugs in this class are increasingly used in organ transplantation and in autoimmune diseases. With the established safety profile of myfortic ® in allo-transplantation and the already existing data of mycophenolate mofetil in autoimmune diseases, this study should help to demonstrate the beneficial effect of myfortic ® on lupus activity. The aim of the study will be to show a decreased disease activity with myfortic ® compared to standard maintenance therapy with azathioprine.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of edecesertib (formerly GS-5718) in participants with Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) with or without Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

The Peer Approaches to Lupus Self-Management (PALS) study is a randomized, controlled in which 360 African American women with lupus will be recruited from the MUSC SLE database (60 mentors and 300 mentees). The peer mentoring intervention (patients will be matched with peer mentors who are considered competent in the management of their condition to provide modeling and reinforcement to participants) will occur by telephone for approximately 60 minutes every two weeks for 24 weeks. All participants will be assessed at baseline, mid-intervention (12 weeks post-enrollment), immediately following the intervention (24 weeks post-enrollment), and 12 months post-enrollment. The study will last 60 months with recruitment and enrollment over 48 months, 6 months for intervention delivery and 6 months for data analysis.
