Seeking Lupus Patients for Clinical Trial of a New Investigational Medicine

Male and female patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are being sought for a clinical study looking at a possible benefit of an investigational medicine. The study site is in Roseville, California and in the Sacramento area and will last approximately 56 weeks.

In order to be eligible for the study, patients must be:
Between the ages of 18 and 75
Experiencing active disease during the time you join the study
Receiving treatment for SLE
There are also some other medical criteria that must be met for all patients wishing to join the study. A number of screening tests will determine suitability for the study.
If you or someone you know from the Sacramento area may benefit from this study, please contact Sharon Harp of Med Investigations directly at (916) 966-7452.

Lupus Research Institute Advocates for FDA Legislation to Accelerate Lupus Treatments

The Lupus Research Institute and its Coalition of patient groups throughout the country -- including LFNC -- are advocating for the inclusion of provisions in new FDA legislation that will accelerate the delivery of lifesaving and life enhancing treatments for individuals affected by lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
