Trial summary

The goal of this new lupus research study is two-fold: first, to understand the genetic associations found between people's DNA and this disease, and second, to apply this understanding to drug development efforts with the investigator's partners at Pfizer. Read more about this study

About this study

The goal of this new lupus research study is two-fold: first, to understand the genetic associations found between people's DNA and this disease, and second, to apply this understanding to drug development efforts with the investigator's partners at Pfizer.

Read the detailed description

Lupus is a difficult disease to diagnose and one that's difficult to manage, given the lack of specific medicines to treat lupus and the side-effects of current medications. The investigators believe genetics may play a critical role in developing better lupus diagnoses and treatments. If individuals are eligible to participate, the investigators will send a 23andMe DNA saliva kit at no cost. Participants will be asked to take a 15 minute online survey with questions about their lupus experience, symptoms and response to treatments, in addition to five additional bi-monthly short surveys and one final study survey during the 12-month participation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by 23andMe, Inc. at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 1 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 10 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Salivary DNA sample for genetic analysis (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 10 Jan 2018.
