The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of BMS-986165 on blood levels of methotrexate given as a single dose in healthy male patients.
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.
To develop a test to characterize and monitor SLE disease activity status from a participant's home by analyzing the gene expression from participant self-collected blood samples using a novel fingerstick collection kit.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of JBT-101 (also known as lenabasum) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). - One hundred adults with active joint disease and at least moderate pain will be enrolled in this study to evaluate treatment of their systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with JBT-101. JBT-101 is a synthetic endocannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) agonist and an activator of the body's normal processes, to resolve innate immune responses without immunosuppression. - Participants will receive 2 doses of JBT-101 by mouth (three groups of varying doses) or, placebo, for 84 days and will continue to be followed for an additional 28 days. Participant visits to assess endpoints occur on Day 1, then every 2 weeks twice, then every 4 weeks three times, for a total of six visits. - The change in maximum daily pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score from Baseline (Visit 1) will be assessed at every visit.
The evaluation of lupus patients must include several approaches, in particular disease activity and quality of life. The Systemic Lupus Activity Questionnaire (SLAQ) is a validated self-questionnaire to evaluate disease activity. It has the advantage of being inexpensive, easy to use in large cohorts and has been used in several studies. It has never been validated in French. The Lupus Quality Of Life (LupusQoL) is a self-questionnaire to evaluate quality of life and is specific to systemic lupus erythematous; it was developed from interviews with patients. This tool, validated in a British population, has never been validated in French.
Study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a novel biologic in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus in male and female adults. Patients who qualify will be randomized to either active BMS-931699 or placebo for initially, up to 24 weeks. Patients who complete the initial 24 weeks of treatment and who are responding to therapy will have the option to continue receiving BMS-931699 as part of a long-term extension (LTE). Disease activity and safety will be assessed over the course of the study through laboratory values, various rating scales accepted in systemic lupus erythematosus studies and patient self reporting.
This study will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study in which approximately 24 subjects with SCLE will be enrolled. Cohort 1 will consist of 12 subjects (6 AMG 557: 6 placebo) randomized to receive AMG 557 210 mg or matching placebo. Cohort 2 will consist of 12 subjects (6 AMG 557: 6 placebo) randomized to receive AMG 557 140 mg or matching placebo. Enrollment of Cohort 2 (140 mg) will be initiated after enrollment of Cohort 1 (210 mg) is completed.
Leflunomide versus Azathioprine for Maintenance Therapy of Lupus Nephritis
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).
