Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to obtain skin, blood, and urine samples from patients with active cutaneous lupus lesions and from healthy participants.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Phase 0 multi-center and longitudinal study of biomarkers and clinical parameters in patients with lupus erythematosus (LE). Approximately 80 participants (20 healthy participants and 60 patients with LE) will be enrolled. This will include 30 with Discoid Lupus Erythematosus/Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (DLE/SCLE) without Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and 30 with DLE/SCLE with SLE. All patients with LE will continue to be managed by their personal physicians per their standard-of-care. Study participants will undergo interventional procedures that include collection of urine, blood samples and skin biopsy. There will be a single sample collection timepoint for healthy participants and two sample collection timepoints for LE patients, separated by approximately 12 weeks. A blood sample for genomic analysis will be collected for research purposes from patients who provide consent and where local regulations permit. The data obtained in this study will be used in the evaluation of new therapies for lupus and may help in developing new treatments. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and physical examinations. The total duration of study participation will be approximately 11 days for healthy participants and 95 days for patients with LE.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1: Healthy participants

20 healthy participants will be enrolled.

Skin biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants with LE will have 2 adjacent 4 mm punch biopsies collected from involved and uninvolved skin at one timepoint and again from the involved skin site approximately 12 weeks later. Healthy participants will have 2 adjacent 4 mm punch biopsies taken at one timepoint.

Blood collection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Blood for serum analyses will be taken from all participants. Blood for DNA analysis will only be taken from participants who consent to this separately.

Urine collection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Urine will be collected from all participants.

Group 2: DLE/SCLE without SLE

30 participants with Discoid Lupus Erythematosus/Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (DLE/SCLE) without Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) will be enrolled.

Skin biopsy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants with LE will have 2 adjacent 4 mm punch biopsies collected from involved and uninvolved skin at one timepoint and again from the involved skin site approximately 12 weeks later. Healthy participants will have 2 adjacent 4 mm punch biopsies taken at one timepoint.
