Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated intravenous infusions of the study drug BT063 in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) compared with people who receive a placebo.

The primary purpose of this Phase 1b double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and biological effect of MSC2364447C administered for 4 weeks in systemic lupus erythematosus subjects (SLE).

The purpose of this study is to assess whether co-administration of belimumab and a single cycle of rituximab will optimize treatment with belimumab, which will result in improvements of clinical status with a favorable safety profile, by comparing subjects randomized to belimumab plus rituximab versus belimumab plus rituximab-placebo. Approximately 292 subjects will be randomized in a 1:2:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment arms; belimumab plus rituximab-placebo (Arm A, control), belimumab plus rituximab (Arm B, combination), or belimumab plus standard therapy (Arm C, reference). Belimumab will be administered as subcutaneous (SC) and rituximab-placebo or rituximab will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusions. The total duration of the study is for 104 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of JNJ-55920839 following single ascending intravenous (IV) dose administration in healthy participants and a single subcutaneous dose in healthy participants and multiple IV dose administrations in participants with mild to moderate Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of "Walk With Ease", a moderate-intensity exercise program, on pain, stiffness, and fatigue caused by lupus. Participants will receive a copy of the "Walk With Ease" workbook. The book provides guidance about walking safety as well as how to start, build-up, and maintain a walking program. Participants will complete questionnaires assessing their symptoms before and after completing the six-week program.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Etanercept which is given through intradermal injection is effective in the treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). The investigators also would like to develop new tests to measure skin inflammation by scanning the affected skin using optical coherence tomography (OCT), thermography and laser doppler imaging (LDI) and taking photographs of the rash (to be done before and after treatment). If the findings from these new tests are similar to the ones from taking a sample of skin (biopsy), then the latter (which is an invasive test) can be avoided.

This study is to evaluate the safety of AMG 623 in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus. All subjects will receive 4 weekly doses of study drug over a 3 week period, and then will be followed for an additional 28 weeks, for total study duration of 31 weeks.

Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) have increased arterial stiffness, which leads to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) of arteriosclerotic origin, which are the main cause of mortality in these patients. Exercise is a modifiable factor that reduces cardiovascular mortality and associated risk factors in the general population. Preliminary studies suggest that exercise may improve endothelial function and lipid profile in patients with SLE. However, whether meeting the international physical activity guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM; i.e. ≥150 min / week of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity) can improve arterial stiffness (subclinical atherosclerosis marker) and inflammation is unknown. The primary aim of this study is to assess the effect of an exercise program based on meeting the ACSM physical activity guidelines on arterial stiffness and inflammation in patients with SLE. The secondary aim is to assess the effect of an exercise program based on meeting the ACSM physical activity guidelines on endothelial function, oxidative stress, as well as other cardiometabolic risk factors, physical fitness, health-related quality of life, and other psychosocial outcomes. Our hypothesis is that meeting the ACSM guidelines will improve arterial stiffness and inflammation in patients with SLE. The study is a non-randomized clinical trial. To minimize selection bias, participants in the intervention and control groups will be matched by age, BMI, and disease activity (SLEDAI), which are important contributors to arterial stiffness.

The study tests whether contemplative-based intervention can modify pathogenic processes in participants with Lupus. Techniques such as meditation, mindfulness and yoga may have an impact on the disease and may decrease psychological distress, increase self-regulation capabilities, and reduce pain. Additionally, incorporating patients' caregivers may strengthen their relationships and, thereby, improve their health and well-being.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability and to explore the efficacy of MT-1303 in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus
