Integrating the voices of those living with lupus and lupus experts into every phase of the clinical research process is vital.
Lupus Therapeutics is uniquely positioned to work holistically across the community, including partnering with biopharmaceutical companies, clinical investigators, community organizations, and patients. To achieve this, the fundamental barriers preventing members of the lupus community from getting involved, particularly those from underrepresented groups, must be eliminated. That is why Lupus Therapeutics is spearheading several initiatives to improve access to clinical trials and increase participation rates among diverse communities, including Project CHANGE (Community-based Health Action Network to Generate trial participation and Eliminate disparities) and the PALS program (Patient Advocates for Lupus Studies), as well as a number of other patient engagement, empowerment, education and equity activities.
