Clinical trials are an important part of bringing new therapies to people living with lupus. When people take part in clinical trials, they play a more active role in their own health and help researchers better understand lupus and develop potential new treatments. Researchers need many people to take part in clinical trials, so by participating in a trial you can make a real difference.
If you or a loved one have systemic lupus erythematosus, you may qualify for the SLE-BRAVE clinical research study. The study is testing an investigational oral drug that is taken daily. Researchers want to learn if it may help treat lupus. People with active lupus nephritis and active lupus that affects the central nervous system are excluded from this study.
This study is enrolling now. Participants may receive:
- No-cost study drug or placebo
- No-cost study-related care from local doctors
- Compensation for time and travel
To qualify, you must be at least 18 years of age and have had lupus for at least six months. Participants may also continue taking some of their current lupus medications during the study.
