SLE is mostly seen in young women and causes significant deformity in patients. In SLE, disease activity, body damage due to disease or treatment, comorbidities, and drugs affect body image negatively. SLE causes changes in the body such as skin rashes, uneven pigmentation, vitiligo, scars, tooth loss, alopecia, increased facial hair, stretch marks, weight gain, fatigue, pain, depression, the unpredictability of exacerbations or lack of independence, which worsens the subjective well-being of patients. can affect in that direction. Subjective well-being (SBL) is the scientific term for happiness, and SLE is thought to have a significant negative impact on SWB.
The intent of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single escalating subcutaneous doses of CUG252 in healthy adult subjects.
This trial uses a double blinded, randomized 1:1 (active:sham) placebo controlled, parallel group design, investigating the effects of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The main objective is to evaluate whether adjuvant treatment with tVNS in SLE patients with signs of autonomic dysfunction and fatigue improves patient perceived levels of fatigue. Secondary outcomes include tVNS induced changes to: patient reported outcomes, autonomic nervous system function, SLE disease activity, immunologic profile, tolerability of pain and organ (cardiac, vascular and kidney) functions. Participants are randomized to received either active non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) or inactive sham stimulation. The study period is divided in two periods. The first period investigates the effects of short-term, high-intensity tVNS treatment. The second phase investigates the effects of long-term, middle-intensity tVNS treatment.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effectiveness of 24 weeks of MMF within previously discovered immunologically defined subsets of SLE patients. Treatment effects will be evaluated within the individual immunologically-homogenous subsets defined at screening. This study will also explore and compare pre-randomization gene expression patterns among responders and non-responders to MMF and MMF plus voclosporin, use comprehensive immunophenotyping to study the immunologic changes that accompany treatment- induced disease improvement and to better understand immunologic changes associated with the loss of clinical response.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in the treatment of moderately to severely active SLE.
Hypothesis 1: A reduction in side effects is achieved with monitoring glucocorticoid treatment by using the Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index (GTI) in patients using glucocorticoids. Hypothesis 2: Monitoring treatment by using GTI in patients using glucocorticoids causes a decrease in glucocorticoid toxicity and an increase in the quality of life of patients. Hypothesis 3: With the involvement of the clinical pharmacist in the multidisciplinary team in patients using glucocorticoids, the drug-related problems of the patients are detected and prevented. The aim of this study was to evaluate the glucocorticoid treatment of patients with RA, SLE and vasculitis treated with glucocorticoids prospectively by a multidisciplinary team with GTI. In addition, it was aimed to identify and prevent drug-related problems by reviewing all drugs used in these patients by the clinical pharmacist.
Physical activity and exercise are helpful for managing symptoms like fatigue in people living with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus; SLE). Despite research supporting physical activity participation, people with lupus are often inactive and report being afraid to exercise. To that end, this project is a pilot randomized controlled trial for examining the efficacy of a home-based behavioral intervention based on social cognitive theory and motivational interviewing for increasing physical activity and decreasing fatigue.
The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical and immunological efficacy of belimumab plus low dose IL-2 in systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by production of autoantibodies and the deposition of immune complexes, affecting a wide range of organs. The clinical onset of SLE derives from the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental, immunological and hormonal factors, with a strong predilection for women of childbearing age. SLE is usually diagnosed in young women in the third decade of life and represents the leading cause of systemic disease with secondary kidney involvement. Lupus nephritis (LN) occurs in ~50% of patients with SLE and is the most common, but not the only, cause of kidney injury in SLE. LN typically develops early in the disease course, generally within the first 6 to 36 months, and may be present at initial diagnosis. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic inflammatory cytokine with regulatory roles in innate and adaptive immunity and is implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including SLE. MIF actively participates in multiple stages of the inflammatory response, acting on cells directly and/or potentiating the effects exerted by other stimuli. MIF overcomes the inhibitory effects of glucocorticoids on TNF alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-8 production. MIF is implicated in the pathogenesis of other autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and Guillain Barré syndrome.
