Study of Anti-Malarials in Incomplete Lupus Erythematosus

This project is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial that is designed to test whether treating patients who are at risk for development of lupus with hydroxychloroquine can slow accumulation of disease features. Effects on clinical progression of symptoms, patient-reported outcomes and changes in the immune markers of response will be measured and toxicity of the treatment will be assessed. This trial is a first step in testing a prevention strategy for lupus.

Multicomponent Strategy to Implement a Clinical Practice Guideline and Improve Health Outcomes in People With SLE

Principal objective: To produce scientific knowledge on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention for knowledge transfer and implementing a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), formed by an educative intervention, an computerized clinical decision support system (SADC), complemented by an automated feedback built into the electronic clinical record. Secondary objectives will be previously developed: 1) the analysis of medical practice variations along the care of SLE patients in the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS); 2) the best available scientific evidence to support the optimal development of the SADC; 3) the context and the barriers to innovation implementation in the SCS; and 4) the development of the contents for the implementation strategy, including the SADC and the automated feedback. Methods for the main objective: The main objective will be assessed under an open, multicentric and randomized (by clusters) clinical trial, in the SCS. The multicomponent intervention will be compared to the usual procedures for CPG dissemination. The main measure will be the self-perceived activity of SLE rated by the SLAQ scale. Self-perceived health related quality of life (HRQoL) data will be obtained by means of the questionnaire EQ-5D-5L , to estimate a cost-effectiveness ratio. Methods for secondary objectives: The rest of the objectives will be developed by a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methods to allow adapting the design, development and execution of the intervention to the characteristics of the context.

Development of a Novel Glutamate Receptor Ligand for PET Scans in Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Cognitive impairment occurs in as many as 80% of lupus patients and affective disorders, depression and anxiety, are also common. Both of these problems contribute significantly to disease burden and disability. Associations between serum anti-NMDAR Aab and cognitive and behavioral changes in human SLE have remained controversial, however, elevated titers of these Aabs in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) correlate with severe central nervous system manifestations, such as coma and psychosis. The aim is to study the progression of disease (cognitive and behavioral impairment) over a 2 year period in SLE subjects with neuropsychologic and behavioral testing and correlates of disease progression using resting FDG-PET and serum Anti-NMDAR Aab. The correlations between hippocampal hypermetabolism, Anti-NMDAR Aab and memory impairment observed in the cross-sectional studies will be validated by baseline measurements in the proposed studies.

Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination and Chronic Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases.

Patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease (CIR) are at increased risk for infections. Vaccination is a powerful tool to prevent infections, even in immunocompromised patients. Low-risk types of Human papilloma virus (HPV) cause anogenital warts, while high risk types are strongly related to pre-malignant cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer. HPV vaccines have been developed to prevent these conditions. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are more prevalent in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients or other auto-immune diseases when compared to the healthy population. In France, despite a vaccination available since 2007, rate of vaccination remain low. Although little is known about HPV vaccination in SLE, few studies in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) have shown that HPV vaccines are safe, and capable to induce an immunogenic response in this group of patients. To date, available data suggest that HPV vaccines can be given safely to SLE patients. Given the increased incidence of cervical abnormalities due to HPV in SLE patients, this vaccination should be encouraged. The aim of this study was to assess the vaccination coverage rate in chronically ill girls with SLE or idiopathic juvenile arthritis who require a close pediatric specialized follow-up vaccination and to understand barriers or motivations for it.

Prediction of Outcome of Lupus Nephritis

The purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanisms involved in the formation and glomerular deposition of immune complexes in lupus nephritis. The determination of an antibody pattern specific for systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis may also have a role in predicting disease progression in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus without renal impairment. As for the patients enrolled in the study, the determination of their antibody patterns may contribute to a more targeted and personalized treatment, allowing a prediction of disease progression and the introduction of early targeted treatments, in order to block the onset and/or progression of renal damage.

Regulatory B Cells in Inflammatory Rheumatisms and Biomarkers of Response to Biologic Treatments

B cells are known to play an important role in auto-immune diseases by activating T cells, secreting inflammatory cytokines and autoreactive antibodies. However, a sub-type of B cells named regulatory B cells or Bregs has recently shown capacities to prevent or cure arthritis in mouse models. Bregs have also been identified in humans.

Sequential Belimumab and T-cell Based Therapy in SLE

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease in which the immune system (the bodily system that fights infection) attacks the body's own cells and tissues, causing inflammation and organ damage if not promptly and appropriately managed. Autoantibodies (specific proteins produced by the immune system which participate in attacking self tissues and organs) are the hallmarks of SLE which are produced by a specific type of white blood cells called B cells. Belimumab (Benlysta®) is a monoclonal antibody against the B cells by blocking the action of BLyS, a protein that prolongs the longevity and enhances the functions of B cells and is found to be elevated in patients with SLE, was approved by the FDA to treat patients with SLE. This study aims to study the effects of Belimumab on T cells, another specific type of white blood cells which also play a crucial role in SLE, in patients with SLE. In this trial, 80 adult patients with SLE will be recruited, 40 of them will be assigned to receive intravenous (IV) Belimumab with standard of care therapy (SOC), and 40 to receive SOC only. After 48 weeks of exposure to Belimumab + SOC and SOC alone, the phenotype and functions of T cells will be studied and compared.

Healthy Lifestyle Intervention in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: The Living Well With Lupus Study

This research program aims to investigate the clinical, physiological, metabolic and molecular effects of lifestyle change in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus with high cardiovascular risk. This 6-month parallel-group randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a newly developed lifestyle change intervention - through recommendations for structured and unstructured physical activity and healthy eating - on increasing physical activity level and improving eating habits. Potential effects of the intervention on cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk factors, health-related quality of life, symptoms of anxiety and depression, sleep quality and immune function will be investigated. Gold-standard techniques and a variety of analyses will be performed to access the potential mechanisms involved in response to this intervention.
