Active clinical trials for "Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic"

This epidemiological, transversal, cohort study aims to determine the potential influence of an active long-term hydroxychloroquine intake over the prevalence of a history of symptoms evocative of a COVID-19 infection in patients with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome or psoriatic arthritis, during the epidemic period in France. The information is gathered using a standardized questionnaire, by phone call.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a major public health issue. Potential treatments are essential to control the infection. Hydroxychlorquine is currently tested in several clinical trials to evaluate its efficiency.The objective of this study was to evaluate the symptoms related to COVID-19 occuring in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

the precise role of RNA in setting of this complication in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is largely unknown

The treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may change in the future due to the availability of new biological treatments, especially monoclonal antibodies in patients with active disease. However, one of the main causes of treatment failure in SLE is the lack of treatment adherence since "drugs don't work in patients who don't take them." Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ-Plaquenil) has a long terminal elimination half- life, and investigators have demonstrated that patients who do not take HCQ for a long time have undetectable or very-low blood HCQ concentrations (< 200 ng/ml). The rate of severe non-adherence was 7% in a cohort of 203 patients and was even higher in patients with active disease: 8 out of 35 (23%) in patients with a SLEDAI ≥6 and 6 out of 20 (30%) in patients with a SLEDAI ≥12. Investigators will evaluate the importance of non-adherence to the treatment in a large population of SLE patients with active disease. This will be done with blood HCQ monitoring in a translational multicentric prospective study.

This study enrolled over 400 unaffected sisters of young women diagnosed with SLE. These unaffected sisters are being followed with an annual health questionnaire (CSQ) and blood sample.

It is difficult to predict how a women with an autoimmune disease will do during pregnancy. Some women will improve, others will worsen. Some pregnancies progress normally and others become very complicated. The Duke Autoimmunity in Pregnancy (DAP) Registry will enroll women with autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and Sjogren's syndrome who wish to become, or already are, pregnant. We will follow these women throughout pregnancy to better understand how their autoimmune disease affects their pregnancy, and vice versa.

The Lupus Genetics Studies and Lupus Family Registry & Repository are working to find the genes that reveal the causes of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus). The study is enrolling families of all ethnic backgrounds from the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands that have one or more living members diagnosed with SLE.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a short interactive video game device is associated with performance on standard measures of attention and problem solving in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). The study is also designed to see if playing the video game for four weeks improves attention and problem solving in patients with SLE.

The overall aim of this project is to investigate the different types of immune cells found in the blood of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and healthy donors. We know that the amount of fat on the surface of immune cells is an important factor controlling their behaviour. Immune cells from SLE patients are defective and this is associated with changes in the levels of fat on these cells. This project will investigate the level of fat in the blood and on immune cells from patients with SLE and age matched healthy controls, and measure how changes in the amount of fat can affect the way immune cells behave.

Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) associated to livid telangiectatic erythema during systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is a rare phenomenon seldom reported in literature. The investigators hypothesize that clinic-immunologic assessment and detailed investigation of cutaneous biopsy specimen of PPK and erythema of patients suffering from SLE and SCLE could lead to determine more precisely nosological settings of this injury. Report the different therapeutics with efficacy assessment could be helpful to highlight useful treatment for these patients.
