This is a single blind placebo-controlled pilot study involving Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and lupus nephritis patients. We propose to recruit and consent SLE patients who will be randomized to either receive the study drug, an over the counter fish oil supplement, or a placebo that contains olive oil. They will have a baseline metabolomic profile (blood test), nutritional assessment, fatigue severity scale, quality of life assessment, and SELENA-SLEDAI lupus disease activity assessments completed at the time of study medication distribution. Once 6 months of either the study drug or placebo is completed, then pill counts, assessments of experience/adherence (including side-effects, adverse effects, complaints, and un-blinding), and repeat nutritional assessment, fatigue severity scale, SELENA-SLEDAI, and metabolomic profile will be assessed. The study duration for each patient will be 6 months from initiation of the study drug. It is hypothesized that patients receiving the fish oil supplement will have improvement in their metabolomic profile. Additionally it is hypothesized that patients receiving the fish oil supplement will have improvement in disease activity, fatigue, and quality of life assessments.
TRANSREG will assess the safety and biological efficacy of low-dose IL2 as a Treg inducer in a set of 14 autoimmune and auto-inflammatory diseases, with the aim to select diseases in which further therapeutic development will be performed. Extensive biological- and immune-monitoring pre- and post-IL2 will contribute (i) to define the common or distinct processes responsible for the breakdown of immunological tolerance in these pathologies and (ii) to discover potential biomarkers of the IL2 response.
It has been demonstrated that EPA and DHA supplementation may have anti-inflammatory properties in several chronic diseases, namely, diabetes, obesity, and in rheumatoid arthritis, although not with controversy. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (AAS) are autoimmune diseases characterized by a chronic inflammatory state which is associated with the disease´s clinical symptoms. Thus, we hypothesized that EPA and DHA supplementation may beneficially affect the inflammatory cytokine profile and clinical features of LES and AAS patients.
This study is a Phase I, two-part, open-label study designed to evaluate the effect of repeated doses of GSK2586184 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Simvastatin and Rosuvastatin in healthy volunteers (Cohort A), and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a new tablet formulation of GSK2586184 in healthy male volunteers (Cohort B). Cohort A is a single sequence drug interaction study in which 28 subjects (14 female and 14 male subjects) will be enrolled. Each subject will receive single doses of Simvastatin and Rosuvastatin on two occasions, once alone and once following administration of repeated doses of GSK2586184. Cohort B is a 3-way crossover PK study in which 9 male subjects will be randomized (3 subjects to each treatment sequence). Each subject will receive a single dose of the standard formulation of GSK2586184 with food and two doses of a new formulation of GSK2586184, once with food and once in a fasted state, according to their treatment sequence, with a 3-day wash out between doses. The primary aim of the study is to investigate the effects of GSK2586184 on the pharmacokinetics of the 2 statins and to assess the impact of dosing with and without food on a new formulation of GSK2586184 tablet.
This trial seeks to describe the effect of withdrawal from mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on risk of clinically significant disease reactivation in quiescent SLE patients who have been on long-term MMF therapy.
We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.
This pooled analysis will assess data from the Phase 3 belimumab registration studies BLISS-52 (aka BEL110752) and BLISS-76 (aka BEL110751). The analysis was pre-planned and agreed prior to the unblinding of either study. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of belimumab treatment on a more severe subpopulation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) subjects from BLISS-52 and BLISS-76 to aid physicians and payers in decision making. Subjects are from the modified Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population defined as randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study agent. This more severe subpopulation will have renal, neurological, haematological, or cardiovascular/respiratory organ domain involvement (as defined by a British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) domain score of A, B or C in at least one of the domains) at baseline AND anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (anti-dsDNA) positive (≥ 30 IU/mL) at baseline OR low C3 and/or C4 complement relative to the normal range at baseline.
Determine the effect of vitamin D repletion on flow mediated dilation (FMD, a measure of endothelial function) in vitamin D deficient systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. The investigators will enroll vitamin D deficient SLE patients and randomize them to receive either 400 IU or 5,000 IU of cholecalciferol (D3) daily and measure change in FMD as a measure of EC function at baseline and after 16 weeks of repletion. Determine mechanisms by which vitamin D repletion may improve endothelial function in vitamin D deficient SLE patients and in vitro. Determine effect of oral D3 repletion on the Type I interferon signature in WISH and ECs cultured with pre and post plasma from D3 treated lupus patients. Determine effect of D3 repletion on the number of circulating apoptotic and non-apoptotic EC and EPC ex vivo. Determine effect of exogenous 1,25(OH)D on IFN gene signature in WISH and ECs stimulated by pretreatment SLE plasma in vitro. Determine the effects of exogenous 1,25(OH)D on the phenotype of ECs cultured with pretreatment lupus plasma. This study is designed to efficiently test our hypothesis and begin to define interferon-dependent pathways through which vitamin D repletion can restore clinical and in vitro endothelial function.
This will be a randomized, parallel-group, open-label, single-dose study of belimumab in healthy subjects to estimate the relative bioavailability, tolerability and safety of a single dose of belimumab 200 milligram (mg) when self-administered SC by healthy subjects using a prefilled syringe or autoinjector. This study will also assess the usability and reliability of the injection devices. A total of approximately 80 subjects (40 per group) will be randomly assigned in a 1 to 1 ratio to receive 200 mg belimumab SC as a single 1.0 milliliter (mL) injection of the liquid formulation (200 mg/mL) on Day 0 via the assigned injection device. Subjects will continue to be followed for 70 days after the administration of belimumab.
