A Study of Clinical Disease Flare Through Assessment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to focus on following a prospective cohort of 30 patients with classified SLE for the collection of demographic, clinical (disease activity), and laboratory data that can be used to provide well- characterized biological samples for future assessment of mechanisms of immune dysregulation that lead to clinical disease flare, including a distinct subset of SLE-associated, immune pathway alterations that inform a predictive algorithm. A successful outcome of this proposal will allow for the development of an optimized soluble mediator score, encompassing a distinct subset of informative biomarkers, ready for clinical testing.
