This study investigate mycophenic acid (MPA) pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics and their impact on the clinical outcomes in lupus nephritis (LN) patients. Lupus nephritis patients (both active or inactive) will be recruited. MPA levels will be checked at 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 hrs after MMF administration by an enzymatic assay upon recruitment, then at 6-months' intervals and also when clinically significant events occurred. The MPA levels will be correlated with clinical parameters and outcomes. Pharmacogenomics studies will also be carried out and correlated with MPA exposure and clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanisms involved in the formation and glomerular deposition of immune complexes in lupus nephritis. The determination of an antibody pattern specific for systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis may also have a role in predicting disease progression in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus without renal impairment. As for the patients enrolled in the study, the determination of their antibody patterns may contribute to a more targeted and personalized treatment, allowing a prediction of disease progression and the introduction of early targeted treatments, in order to block the onset and/or progression of renal damage.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a disease in which the immune system attacks the healthy cells and tissues, causing inflammation that can damage organs in the body. About 50% of SLE patients experience inflammation in the kidneys. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of two dosing arms of ACTHar gel in treating proliferative Lupus Nephritis (LN). This study hypothesizes that both dosing arms of ACTHar are safe and effective in treating proliferative LN (Class III and IV).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether calcitriol is effective in the treatment of lupus nephritis.
A central goal of this data repository is to collect data from a large population of subjects with a variety of renal disease states. Cohorts will include subjects with diabetes, inflammatory/autoimmune and transplant related renal conditions. Additionally, the repository will have the capacity to store biospecimens and electronic data in control subjects without established renal disease. This initiative will provide an opportunity to compare data from various disease states and controls with the objective of determining clinical and biological factors that predict disease progression, response to therapy and identify discriminating noninvasive clinical and biological features that predict renal biopsy findings.
OBJECTIVE To test whether Rituximab (RTX) is efficacious to achieve complete renal response (CR) in Lupus Nephritis (LN) patients with persistent proteinuria (≥1g/d) despite at least 6 months of standard of care (SOC). STUDY DESIGN Investigator-initiated randomized international open multicentric 104-week study.
Evaluation the clinical efficacy and safety profile of glucocorticosteroid combined with oral T2 (chloroform/methanol extract of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F) in the treatment of patients with lupus nephritis. Open-labeled, randomized, prospective multi-center clinical trial. Observation period of 24 weeks.
The efficacy measure of hUC-MSC in the treatment of proliferative lupus nephritis on remission of lupus nephritis (combined partial and complete remission) in terms of stabilization and improvement in renal function.
An open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orally administered Tamibarotene to patients of Lupus Nephritis
