Filter by:This study is being done to find out if a non-invasive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination of the kidneys may be helpful for diagnosing lupus nephritis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Participation involves having a kidney MRI that will take between 30 to 60 minutes. Participants may have 1-4 kidney MRIs over a 6-month time period.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetics of multi-dose APG-2575 in mild-to-moderate systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy, safety, PK, and PD of multiple dose levels of ESK-001 compared with placebo in adult patients with SLE.
Serological positivity for anti Ro-SSA antibodies is frequently found in pathologies such as Sjogren's Syndrome and SLE. Worldwide, approximately 0.5-1% of women of reproductive age are positive for Ro-SSA antibodies, and in 1-2% of these women, pregnancy will be complicated by cardiac abnormalities of the fetus, particularly varying degrees of atrioventricular block. It is essential to promptly identify patients with fetal heart rhythm abnormalities to prevent both intrauterine deaths and the birth of newborns with third-degree atrioventricular block, requiring lifelong cardiac pacing. At the moment, the only means to identify these alterations is represented by fetal cardiac ultrasound. Fetal atrioventricular block can develop within a few hours in these patients and fetal ultrasound, normally performed no more frequently than once every two weeks, does not allow for the timely identification of these conditions and therefore for pharmacological intervention. Using home fetal heart rate monitoring, carried out directly by patients three times a day with the aid of a special device that allows easy identification of the fetal heart rhythm, would allow rapid recognition of rhythm alterations and early access to confirmation tests and possible therapies. Fetal heart rhythm surveillance could detect a medically reversible disease that, if untreated, would progress to lifelong cardiac pacing, with its many associated comorbidities. Applying such protocol in pregnant women anti-Ro/SSA positive could become standard practice. The main objectives of this study are: - Estimation of the incidence of the development of fetal AV conduction abnormalities in patients with positivity for Ro/SSA autoantibodies; - Estimation of the reliability of home monitoring of fetal heart rate with fetal Doppler device in detecting fetal atrioventricular conduction disturbances; - Evaluation of the results of the therapy administered early, immediately after the diagnosis of fetal atrioventricular conduction disorders.
To establish the efficacy of a community-based POL (Popular Opinion Leader) intervention with two different trainings designed to increase COVID-19 vaccine and booster uptake and reduce hesitancy among social networks of Black individuals with rheumatic conditions. The investigators will also determine the structure and composition of the personal and outreach social networks of POLs.
This study aims to assess sodium glucose linked transoprter inhibitors(SGT2i) role in regression of ongoing kidney and cardiac diseases among lupus nephritis patient either diabetic or non-diabetic under different immunosuppressive therapy. The main objective of this study is to: To compare use of sodium glucose linked transoprter inhibitors (SGLT2i) versus standard care in regression of chronic kidney disease in patient with lupus nephritis (LN). To study the safety and efficacy of this drug group with use of immunosuppression and possible interaction. Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >30 ml/min/1.73m2 will be randomized into two groups Study group will receive SGLT2i inhibitor as add on drug or replace another drug according to patient clinical situation, Dapagliflozin 10 mg and 25 mg will be used once daily with or without food. Control group will be maintained on placebo.We will follow up all patients for 12 months and compare their results.
The aim of this study is to correlate the autoantibody against oxidized LDL with disease activity and cardiovascular affection in patients with SLE.
In Latin America, information about patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is limited. Multicenter studies are needed to obtain "real world data '' and to carry out longer follow-ups. The purpose of this project is to design a cohort of Argentinian patients with SLE to describe "our real setting" and to identify possible limitations in access to specialized consultations and treatments.
Assess cardiovascular affection and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus using the non invasive flow mediated dilation. evaluate the role of uric acid as independent marker of cardiovascular risk in systemic lupus patient
The purpose of our study was to Recognize gynecological symptoms and health-related quality of life in Egyptian women with systemic lupus erythematosus and evaluate the impact of duration of remission on QOL in SLE patients.
