Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intravenous treatment regimen of anifrolumab versus placebo in adult participants with moderately to severely active, autoantibody-positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential rising single-dose study in which approximately 56 subjects with SLE will be enrolled in 7 dosing cohorts

This is a single blind placebo-controlled pilot study involving Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and lupus nephritis patients. We propose to recruit and consent SLE patients who will be randomized to either receive the study drug, an over the counter fish oil supplement, or a placebo that contains olive oil. They will have a baseline metabolomic profile (blood test), nutritional assessment, fatigue severity scale, quality of life assessment, and SELENA-SLEDAI lupus disease activity assessments completed at the time of study medication distribution. Once 6 months of either the study drug or placebo is completed, then pill counts, assessments of experience/adherence (including side-effects, adverse effects, complaints, and un-blinding), and repeat nutritional assessment, fatigue severity scale, SELENA-SLEDAI, and metabolomic profile will be assessed. The study duration for each patient will be 6 months from initiation of the study drug. It is hypothesized that patients receiving the fish oil supplement will have improvement in their metabolomic profile. Additionally it is hypothesized that patients receiving the fish oil supplement will have improvement in disease activity, fatigue, and quality of life assessments.

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK, the action of a drug in the body over a period of time) of multiple intravenous (IV) administrations of CNTO 136 in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The secondary goal of this study was to assess the pharmacodynamics (biochemical and physiological effects of a drug and the mechanisms of action), immune response, and clinical response.

This Phase 4 study is being performed to examine the effects of Acthar for the indicated use of treatment of SLE. This study will enroll patients with steroid-dependent, persistently active SLE with arthritic and/or cutaneous involvement. The study will involve two periods: an 8-week double-blind period, to provide placebo-controlled safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamic data, and an optional open-label period, to examine the prolonged effects of Acthar maintenance.

The potential role of vitamin D on disease susceptibility, activity and severity has been considered for several autoimmune rheumatologic diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) . Although, there are few studies of vitamin D supplementation in SLE patients, especially in Juvenile Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JoSLE). The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol 50.000 international units (IU)/week for 24 weeks) on disease activity (clinical and laboratory parameters), fatigue and bone mass.

This clinical study will test the efficacy and safety of low dose IL-2 treatment in Systemic lupus erythematosus.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of belimumab in adult patients of black race with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE; lupus).

This is a study to investigate the experimental medication BMS-986165 in healthy participants in order to study the effects it has on electrocardiogram results.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of filgotinib and lanraplenib (formerly GS-9876) in females with moderately-to-severely active cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE).
