Filter by:Identification of biological markers able to better stratify cardiovascular risks in systemic lupus erythematosus patients is needed. We aimed to determine whether serum cardiac troponin T levels measured with a highly sensitive assay (HS-cTnT) may predict cardiovascular events in systemic lupus erythematosus.
The investigators propose to perform RNA-sequencing of the whole blood initially, in a cohort of 80 SLE patients who will receive belimumab as part of standard clinical practice, in order to assess intra-patient longitudinal (baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months) transcriptome changes and examine whether treatment can ameliorate the activity/flare, severity and major organ disease gene signatures. The investigators will also obtain preliminary information on molecular signatures predicting clinical responses and the impact of belimumab on gene signatures of host defense against viral and bacterial (including mycobacterial) pathogens. Using modules of cell type-specific genes and co-expression gene networks, The investigators will deconvolute our data to define pertinent molecular alterations in specific immune cell types. Results will be validated and functionally characterized by single-cell mass cytometry (performed at the aforementioned time points), which enables investigation of the cell identity (including subsets of B-cells and myeloid cells of particular relevance to the disease) and activation status at protein level (e.g. phosphorylation) through next-generation, high-dimensional flow cytometry. Through a focused analysis followed by targeted gene expression and function studies in purified monocytes, the investigators will determine whether belimumab can restore "SLE-primed" monocytes thus, alleviating their inflammatory and pro-atherogenic phenotype and enhancing their bactericidal activity. Collectively, these studies will provide novel mechanistic insights on the beneficial efficacy/toxicity ratio of belimumab therapy in SLE.
This study aims to evaluate the rule of NMUS in detection of peripheral neuropathy in SLE patient and to correlate it to traditional neurophysiological studies, clinical signs and activity of SLE.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and drug levels of BMS-986256 in participants with cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
To address the health disparities in SLE outcomes for minorities, targeted intervention will be used to address the common barriers to care among patients; a comprehensive patient navigator approach will be utilized based on evidence from prior studies is the purpose of this research. The navigator services most commonly provided include facilitation and coordination of care, practical support, including scheduling transportation and referrals to financial assistance programs, appointment scheduling and reminders, education and psycho-social support. The most effective patient navigators address both health system and patient barriers.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, autoimmune disease that has detrimental effects on connective tissue and other organs. The musculoskeletal system is one of the most affected systems in this group of patients including the temporomandibular joint. The most common symptoms when muscle involvement in SLE are muscle atrophy decreased muscle strength and myopathy. SLE activity and long-term corticosteroid use are thought to be responsible for these symptoms, thus, SLE patients are accepted to be at higher risk for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Low-level laser therapy(LLLT) is frequently used in the treatment of TMD due to its pain relief and anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, in this study, LLLT has been used to evaluate this treatment modality on the chewing function and pain values of SLE patients with myogenic TMD.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an immune-mediated disease associated with inflammation of multiple organ systems. This study will evaluate how well elsubrutinib and upadacitinib given alone or as the ABBV-599 combination (elsubrutinib/upadacitinib) works within the body, in participants who completed study M19-130. This study will assess the change in disease symptoms. ABBV-599 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). This study is "double-blinded", which means that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given which study drug. Study doctors put the participants into 1 of 4 groups called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Adult participants with a diagnosis of SLE will be enrolled. Around 260 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 100 sites worldwide. Participants will receive the following for up to 56 weeks: Participants will receive oral elsubrutinib capsules and/or oral upadacitinib tablets once daily for up to 56 weeks. Participants who were receiving elsubrutinib and/or upadacitnib in M19-130 will continue to receive the same treatment in this study. Participants who were receiving placebo in M19-130 will be re-randomized to one of the 2 combination treatment arms in this study. Arm 1: Elsubrutinib Dose A and Upadacitinib Dose A Arm 2: Elsubrutinib Dose A and Upadacitinib Dose B There may be higher burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend monthly visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This study aims at defining the role of O-GlcNAcylation is in the physiopathology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). O-GlcNAcylation is a metabolic pathway potentially implicated in SLE with potential for the discovery of new therapeutic strategies.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug LY3471851 (NKTR-358) is safe and effective in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
A randomised, within-participants cross-over design trial including 34 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The participants will be randomised to data registration of patient reported outcome measures (PROM) through the DANBIO webapp and thereafter via the outpatient touchscreen or vice versa.
