Filter by:This parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab versus placebo in participants with active, autoantibody-positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are treated with standard-of-care therapy.
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called litifilimab (BIIB059) in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The study will focus on participants who have active disease and are already taking standard of care medications. These may include antimalarials, steroids, and immunosuppressants. The main objective of the study is to learn about the effect litifilimab has on lowering the activity of the disease. The main question researchers want to answer is: - How many participants have an improvement in their symptoms after 52 weeks of treatment? Researchers will answer this and other questions by measuring the symptoms of SLE over time using a variety of scoring tools. These include the SLE Responder Index (SRI), the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K), and the Patient Global Assessment - Visual Analog Scale (PGA-VAS). Researchers will also learn more about the safety of litifilimab. They will study how participants' immune systems respond to litifilimab. Additionally, they will measure the effect litifilimab and SLE have on the quality of life of participants using a group of questionnaires. The study will be done as follows: - After screening, participants will be randomized to receive either a high or low dose of litifilimab, or placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. - All participants will receive either litifilimab or placebo as injections under the skin once every 4 weeks. The treatment period will last 52 weeks. Participants will continue to take their standard of care medications. - Neither the researchers nor the participants will know if the participants are receiving litifilimab or placebo. - There will be a follow-up safety period that lasts up to 24 weeks. - In total, participants will have up to 22 study visits. The total study duration for participants will be up to 80 weeks.
Rationale: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic relapsing-remitting autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations affecting several organs. Although the management of lupus patients has improved in the last years, accurate models for predicting disease progression are lacking. Objective: To prospectively evaluate the predictive value of a combination of chemokines, MMPs/TIMPs, and autoantibody levels for predicting flares in patients with SLE Study design: prospective, observational single centre cohort study, conducted at the department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology of the UMC Utrecht Study population: Adult patients with SLE (according to EULAR/ACR criteria) under control in the UMC Utrecht. Intervention (if applicable): n/a Main study parameters/endpoints: - Profile of autoantibodies and chemokines in visits previous to recorded flares, compared to visits previous to no recorded flares. Risk calculations will be made using areas under the curve (AUC) for both individual markers as multivariate analysis - Changes in the profile of autoantibodies and chemokines in patients with lower reported quality of life measured by LupusQoL questionnaire, compared to previous visits of the same patient. - Changes in titer levels of autoantibodies before and after start of biological treatment. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: this is an observational study; the burden for patients is esteemed to be low. For some patients who regularly attend the outpatient clinic yearly, the four-times a year visits during two years will be more frequent, including more frequent blood sampling, compared to standard care. Furthermore, more blood will be drawn per sampling, compared to standard care.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of belimumab administered in combination with background standard therapy in pediatric participants with active SLE.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of Afimetoran in participants with active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The extension period will provide additional long-term safety and efficacy data and enable those participants initially randomized to placebo to receive treatment with Afimetoran.

The purpose of this study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of SC antifrolumab in adult patients with moderate -to-severe SLE despite receiving standard therapy
This is an open-label, one-arm single-center phase Ⅱa study exploring the efficacy and safety of CS20AT04 (HLA-haplo Matched Allogenic Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells) in two subpopulation group of systemic lupus erythematosus patients - lupus nephritis and lupus cytopenia.
The overarching goal of this study is the development of a physiologic endpoint of pain and treatment effect in three distinct rheumatology populations. This would enable objective assessment of pain and treatment in these populations and enable a much more precise approach to treatment. Such an endpoint stands to significantly improve outcomes in these patients by eliminating the need for a trial-and-error approach to treatment. This is a single site observational study that aims to collect initial pilot data in three distinct patient groups. As this is observational, there is no randomization or blinding in the study. Patients will be followed for a period of one year after enrollment. Baseline measurements will be taken at the time of enrollment, and at each subsequent standard of care clinic visit as feasible, for a period of one year. As this is an observational study, there will be no change to the treatment for any patient due to research activities. The primary objective of this study is the characterization of the nociceptive index in three pediatric rheumatology populations. The secondary objective is the characterization of the nociceptive index in these populations in response to standard of care interventions. This is necessary to demonstrate the ability of this approach to serve as an endpoint of treatment effect.
This study learn how easily patients can use an educational tool that will be created for patients with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune diseases who receive or will receive immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs. Patients will be asked their opinions about the design, accessibility, and content of the tool. Researchers will use the information collected to improve the educational materials that will help patients make future decisions about their treatment.
