Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

No drug treatment is completely free of risk and lack of response, adverse events and poor adherence may affect its effectiveness. Within this context, this project aims to evaluate the importance of monitoring blood levels and salivary drug used in rheumatic autoimmune diseases in the monitoring of adherence to therapy. In addition, this project intends to use the monitoring of drug levels, based on pharmacokinetic studies and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics modeling, to broaden the understanding of the possible cellular, tissue and immunological mechanisms involved in efficacy and adverse effects of these drugs with the prospect of reducing the damage and maintain therapeutic efficacy. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry, which will be used to evaluate hydroxychloroquine, thalidomide, glucocorticoids, is considered the gold standard technology to qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs in blood and its comparison with the dosage in the saliva is an improvement in simplification of the process. For biological agents the focus will be on the understanding the loss of efficacy and the possible role of anti-TNF antibodies using ELISA capture methodology.This project will be divided into four sections with their respective sub-projects according to the medications that will be studied: hydroxychloroquine, thalidomide, biologic agents and glucocorticoids.

This first-in-human, multicenter study to evaluate the administration of placebo or AMG 811 single subcutaneous and intravenous dose to subjects with SLE

To assess how the absolute bioavailability, dose proportionality, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of epratuzumab compared when given as a subcutaneous (sc) injection as to when given as an intravenous (iv) infusion in Caucasian and Japanese healthy volunteers.

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of 4 doses of cenerimod versus placebo in adult subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

This is a pilot study of an automated, internet-based pain coping skills training (PCST) program, PainCOACH.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating, multiple subcutaneous (SC) doses of VIB7734 in participants with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE), Sjogren's Syndrome, Systemic Sclerosis, Polymyositis, and Dermatomyositis.

Exploration of pathophysiological mechanisms in chronic inflammatory rheumatism and rare systemic autoimmune diseases with the objective of identifying therapeutic targets.

A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study of VIB7734 for the Treatment of Moderate to Severely Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in approximately 195 participants. The study duration will be 48 weeks, with a safety follow-up through week 56.There will be 3 parallel arms - 2 active treatment and 1 placebo.

This study will assess the effect of a 24-week withdrawal followed by a 28-week reintroduction of belimumab 10 mg/kg plus standard of care medications in subjects with stable low systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity. Rebound phenomenon will be assessed for subjects who have permanently withdrawn from further belimumab treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of belimumab administered subcutaneously (SC) to adult subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
