Lupus Research Alliance and National Minority Quality Forum Release Recommendations to Increase Diversity in Clinical Trial Participation
The Lupus Research Alliance (LRA) and the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) today released the insightful report, Addressing the Challenges of Clinical Research Participation Among Populations Disproportionately Impacted by Lupus. The report presents findings and actionable suggestions that can be implemented by any individual or group seeking to increase participation in lupus clinical trials among diverse populations. These recommendations came out of a meeting hosted by the LRA and NMQF that convened leaders involved in equalizing healthcare for minority populations -- scientists, clinicians, people with lupus, health educators and advocates for minority health, as well as representatives from pharmaceutical companies.
LRA-Supported Researchers Identify the Signs and Symptoms that Predict Full-Blown Lupus Nephritis Down the Road
A new study funded by the Lupus Nephritis Trials Network with support from the Lupus Research Alliance has proposed a set of standardized measures that promise to improve the way clinical trials in lupus nephritis (LN) are structured and how clinical researchers report their results. Published in the March 2019 issue of Arthritis & Rheumatology, study findings will also help researchers in their search for new treatments for LN —inflammation of the kidneys.
