Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to examine hormonal and environmental risk factors (and possible gene-environmental interactions) involved in the etiology of lupus nephritis. Our study will focus on exposures to occupational and environmental agents that have been linked to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine hormonal and environmental risk factors (and possible gene-environmental interactions) involved in the etiology of lupus nephritis. Our study will focus on exposures to occupational and environmental agents that have been linked to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or renal disease (e.g., silica dust, smoking). We will also assess potential gene environment interactions. We will examine these exposures in 100 patients with renal biopsy with documented proliferative or membraneous nephritis. We will compare exposures in the lupus nephritis patients to lupus patients who do not have nephritis and to normal controls who have participated in the Carolina Lupus Study. One hundred lupus nephritis patients (age 18 years or older, of both genders and all races) will be identified through the Glomerular Disease Collaborative Network (GDCN) Nephropathology database and participating nephrologists at the Medical University of South Carolina, Duke University Medical Center and the East Carolina Medical School.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lupus Nephritis, run by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2017.
