Filter by:The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of ixazomib when administered as multiple oral doses at escalating dose levels in participants with lupus nephritis.
This study will compare the efficacy of CellCept [0.5-2 grams per day (g/day) orally (p.o.)] and cyclophosphamide [0.5-1 grams per square meter (g/m2) quarterly] as maintenance treatment for patients with lupus nephritis. All patients will receive induction treatment with cyclophosphamide (0.5-1g/m2 monthly) for 6 months, and will then be randomized to the maintenance phase of the study for a further 6 months, followed by 6 months of treatment-free follow-up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 12 months.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of BIIB023 in participants with lupus nephritis (LN).
The treatment of the multisystem autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains a challenge, particularly when there is renal involvement (lupus nephritis). For the last 60 years corticosteroids have been the backbone of the treatment of lupus nephritis but they are associated with significant toxicity. Although randomized placebo controlled trials of Rituximab in non-renal lupus and lupus nephritis did not meet their primary end-points, there is accumulating data that suggests that B cell depletion with Rituximab may be efficacious in lupus disease refractory to conventional therapy. Furthermore, our pilot data suggests that the addition of Rituximab to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) without oral steroids is at least as effective at inducing a renal response as the standard of care therapy comprising MMF and high dose oral corticosteroids. RITUXILUP is a proof of concept, open labeled, randomized, controlled, multicentre trial that aims to demonstrate whether the addition of Rituximab to MMF therapy is useful in treating a new flare of lupus nephritis and whether it has a long lasting steroid-sparing, beneficial effect with equal efficacy and greater safety than a conventional regimen of MMF and oral prednisolone. If successful, this trial has the potential to dramatically change the management of lupus nephritis.
Comparison of the Efficacy of Two Rituximab Treatment Regimens in Patients With Lupus Nephropathy Resistant to Conventional Treatments
The purpose of this study is to evaluate (Abatacept) for treatment of lupus nephritis when used on a background of Cellcept (mycophenolate) and prednisone (corticosteroids)
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of Anti-MIF Antibody in subjects with lupus nephritis.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of BIIB023 as an add-on treatment to background therapy compared with placebo in combination with background therapy in the treatment of participants with active, biopsy-proven Lupus Nephritis. The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of BIIB023 compared with placebo in this study population. Participants who complete this study through Week 52 will be offered the option to enter an Extension study under a separate protocol 211LE202 (NCT0193089).
The sponsor electively terminated the study because the risk mitigation measures, deemed necessary after an unforeseen safety event, could not be effectively implemented within this protocol while maintaining study timelines within a reasonable time frame.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of tacrolimus capsules with leflunomide tablets in the treatment of lupus nephritis.
