Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare efficacy of 3 dose levels of PF-04236921 to placebo in subjects with generalized lupus using a measure called the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Responder Index. The study will evaluate secondary and exploratory measures as well.

This will be a randomized, parallel-group, open-label, single-dose study of belimumab in healthy subjects to estimate the relative bioavailability, tolerability and safety of a single dose of belimumab 200 milligram (mg) when self-administered SC by healthy subjects using a prefilled syringe or autoinjector. This study will also assess the usability and reliability of the injection devices. A total of approximately 80 subjects (40 per group) will be randomly assigned in a 1 to 1 ratio to receive 200 mg belimumab SC as a single 1.0 milliliter (mL) injection of the liquid formulation (200 mg/mL) on Day 0 via the assigned injection device. Subjects will continue to be followed for 70 days after the administration of belimumab.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Duloxetine (cymbalta) can reduce pain severity in patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Intravenous cyclophosphamide is considered to be the standard of care for treatment of proliferative lupus nephritis. However, its use is limited by potentially severe toxic effects. Cyclosporine A has been suggested to be an efficient and safe treatment alternative to cyclophosphamide. In a randomized, multicenter, open-label, controlled trial the investigators sought to compare the efficacy of oral cyclosporine A with intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide to induce durable remission in patients with lupus nephritis III-IV.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety of epratuzumab in patients with SLE.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atacicept compared to placebo in preventing new flares in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to confirm the optimal dose of atacicept for treatment of subjects with SLE and gain information on the effect of atacicept on markers specific to its mechanism of action (MoA) and their correlation to disease activity/progression. Study medication will be administered through subcutaneous (under the skin) injections, beginning with twice weekly injections for the first 4 weeks, followed by once weekly doses for 48 weeks. Following the last treatment, a safety follow-up period of 24 weeks will be conducted.

Interferon alpha (IFNa) is involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)and IFNa levels are associated with the severity of the disease. Blocking IFNa could be an attractive therapeutic strategy. Active immunization with IFNa kinoid (IFN-K) induces a polyclonal antibody response. This study will evaluate the safety of IFN-K in patients with mild to moderate SLE. It will also measure the induction of anti-IFNa antibodies and evaluate the clinical impact on SLE disease.

This is a long-term continuation study to provide continuing treatment to subjects with SLE.

A pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of leflunomide in SLE patients with active disease who are refractory to cyclophosphamide

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SBI-087 in subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
