Learn More About Lupus Clinical Trials
Bolstering lupus clinical research to ensure the development of safe and effective therapies for the diverse lupus community is the cornerstone of Lupus Therapeutics, the clinical affiliate of the Lupus Research Alliance. By leveraging the expertise of the Lupus Clinical Investigators Network (LuCIN) and the Lupus Therapeutics team, the organization is progressing life-changing treatment and enabling access to care through clinical trials while ensuring the patient voice is at the center of clinical advances and there is participation that represents those living with lupus.
LuCIN is a network of leading clinical research institutions, with more than 50 centers throughout North America. Together with Lupus Therapeutics, lupus experts strive to identify and evaluate the most promising lupus treatments. Beyond improving patient access, LuCIN investigators have experience in designing and conducting high-quality clinical trials. Through partnership with community practices and referrals, LuCIN centers may be a hub to access trials for those needing new treatment options or desiring to forward new treatments for all those impacted by lupus.

Another important resource is Clinicaltrials.gov.
This online database of clinical research studies aims to provide information about clinical research studies to healthcare providers and researchers, as well as the public. Listings may include information such as the purpose of the trial, eligibility for participation, locations of study centers, and contact information. The resource is very comprehensive and may seem daunting, but there are some approaches that will help make clinicaltrials.gov more accessible and useful.
Tips for utilizing clinicaltrials.org:
- Visit clinicaltrials.org
- Search for keywords, such as lupus, intervention name, location, etc.
- Select study status and click search. This will allow you to look for studies that are recruiting participants.
Individuals looking for more in-depth information can add more filters, such as eligibility criteria including biological sex and age.
More information about how to use clinicaltrials.gov is available on the clinicaltrials.gov site.
Patients should also discuss their treatment options as well as clinical trial participation with their healthcare provider team, before enrolling.
