Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of BMS-986165 in combination with an oral contraceptive in healthy female patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate BMS-986165 tablet formulation versus BMS-986165 capsule formulation. This study will also evaluate the effect of a high-fat/ high-calorie meal and increased gastric pH on the BMS-986165 tablet formulation.
This study will investigate BMS-986165 to assess its effects in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in systemic lupus erythematosus.
GADD34 (Growth Arrest and DNA Damage inducible-protein) is a regulatory subunit of PP1 (phosphatase 1) phosphatase which dephosphorylates eIF2alpha (eucaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha subunit), representing a negative feedback loop of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Moreover, GADD34 is necessary for type I interferon (IFN) production in response to viral infection in murine models. We investigate here the expression of GADD34 in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in which type I IFN has an important pathogenic role. We report a case-control study on GADD34 gene expression in PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) of SLE patients (n=60) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n=30). The level of GADD34 gene expression, as well as of type-I IFN response genes in PBMC is measured by quantitative PCR.
The study is to evaluate the clinical performance of BioCLIA Ro60 for measuring the autoantibody in autoimmune disease patients.
SPOCS is an international, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study with bi-annual study visits over a 3-year follow-up designed to systematically describe the comprehensive SLE patient-journey regarding clinical features, disease progression and treatment patterns, SLE outcomes, health status assessments (PROs), and health care resource utilization (HCRU) in a general population of moderate-to-severe SLE patients.
This is a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study in healthy subjects to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ICP-022 following oral single and multiple escalating dose administration.
Background: As many as 1.5 million Americans are living with systemic lupus erythematosus (Lupus). Lupus makes people very tired. It also makes it hard for people to be physically active. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise training helps people with heart or lung illnesses be less tired and more active. Researchers want to use an exercise training program on people with Lupus to see if it has the same results. Objectives: To find out if aerobic exercise helps people with Lupus be less tired and more active. Eligibility: Women ages 21-80 who have Lupus and are not physically active. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have heart and lung tests, as well as blood and urine tests. They will also answer questions about their quality of life and take a test that measures lupus activity. The study will last 14-16 weeks. For the first two study visits, participants will do treadmill exercise tests and answer more quality of life questions. For these treadmill tests, participants will wear sensors, a mask, or a mouthpiece while they exercise. Participants will then begin exercise training, 3 times a week for 12 weeks. At each of these visits, they will walk very fast for 30 minutes on a track or a treadmill. Each visit will last about 1 hour. At the halfway point of the study, participants will repeat some of the screening tests. This visit will last about 3 hours. At the end of the study, participants will repeat the screening tests. They will also repeat the treadmill exercise tests.
This study is designed to investigate the association of the clinical and laboratory parameters or data with the cardiac structural and functional abnormalities in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Patients with at least four ACR classification criteria for SLE and stable clinical condition (no need for immunosuppressive therapy intensification, i.e. current immunosuppressive drug dose increase or introduction of an additional immunosuppressive drug within last 3 months) will be included in the study. Study procedures will include clinical evaluation, lab tests including blood counts, liver and kidney functions and antibodies levels such as ANA, antiphospholipid antibodies, anti-ds DNA as well as inflammatory markers such as sedimentation rates. Also evaluation of cardiac status by cardiologist examination echocardiography and gadolinium enhanced cardiac MRI. Next, correlation between cardiac abnormalities and laboratory changes will be statistically analyzed.
