Filter by:This is the first study in cutaneous lupus erythematosus subjects to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of CC-11050.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period, crossover study in which approximately 20 subjects with Discoid Lupus Erythematosus will be enrolled to receive AMG 811 and placebo in one of two sequences (ie, AMG 811 followed by placebo or placebo followed by AMG 811).
A 20 week study to assess the safety and efficacy of etanercept(Enbrel®)for the treatment of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical and immunological effects of the phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitor, CC-10004, on skin inflammation associated with cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
The purpose of this research study is to see if a specific protein that we are interested in is involved in scarring hair loss. If these proteins are involved, further genetic work may also better define the disease as well as future treatment options.
Lupus Erythematosus (LE) is an autoimmune disorder that includes a broad spectrum of clinical forms. One of these forms, Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic disfiguring disease confined to the skin. The aim of this pivotal trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ASF-1096 cream 0.5% in the treatment of patients with DLE or SLE presenting newly developed discoid lesions.

Discoid lupus erythematosus lesions are commonly treated with corticosteroids, but corticosteroids may induce side effects such as thinning of the skin or scarring. Therefore, an alternative medication with the same efficacy, but without the side-effects is sought after. Pimecrolimus is a newer drug specially designed to treat inflammatory diseases of skin. Its efficacy in treating discoid lupus erythematosus has not been studied extensively yet. However studies performed till now show promising results. Long-term topical use of this medication has not shown any serious side-effects in other skin diseases. In this study we aimed at comparing pimecrolimus efficacy with that of a common therapeutic choice, betamethasone valerate 0.1% cream, to see if pimecrolimus can be used as an alternative medication in treating discoid lupus erythematosus.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Raptiva (efalizumab) in the treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Discoid lupus erythematosus is a chronic disorder, which may lead to permanent and progressive loss of hair. Lupus is a condition of chronic inflammation cause by an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses which occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. The immune system is a complex system within the body that is designed to fight infectious agents, for example, bacteria, and other foreign invaders. One of the mechanisms that the immune system uses to fight infections is the production of antibodies. Patients with lupus produce abnormal antibodies in their blood that target tissues within their own body rather than foreign infectious agents. Lupus can cause disease of the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, joints, and nervous system. When only the skin is involved, the condition is called discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Raptiva (efalizumab) is a humanized immunoglobulin(a protein extract from blood which fights off infection-sometimes called "antibody"), which targets the immune cells that are activated in inflammation. Raptiva has been approved for use in the management of psoriasis at doses of 1mg/kg, but is not approved for the treatment of DLE.
This trial evaluates the therapeutic effect of Elidel (pimecrolimus) in comparison to the corresponding vehicle in patients with chronic discoid lupus erythematosus (dLE) or subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (scLE).
