Trial summary

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic invalidating chronic condition, with potential articular, cutaneous, renal, and neurologic involvement. Its pathophysiology is complex, and involves genetic, environmental and hormonal factors, leading to tolerance rupture. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Involvement of Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic invalidating chronic condition, with potential articular, cutaneous, renal, and neurologic involvement. Its pathophysiology is complex, and involves genetic, environmental and hormonal factors, leading to tolerance rupture. Among regulatory cells, Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) have been described as being increased during SLE, furthermore during flares. MDSCs are defined phenotypically as being HLA-DR-CD3-CD19-CD33+CD11b+, and either CD14+ (Monocytic MDSCs), CD15+ (Granulocytic MDSCs), or CD14-CD15- (Early-stage MDSCs). However, data regarding their immunosuppressive properties are conflicting, some studies identifying regulatory properties, while other have demonstrated a pro-inflammatory involvement through the induction of Th17 lymphocytes.

The objectives of this study is to assess the involvement of MDSC in SLE through accurate phenotypical and functional assessment, as well as characterizing their immunometabolic profile, and to identify innovative therapeutic strategies.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic invalidating chronic condition, with potential articular, cutaneous, renal, and neurologic involvement. Its pathophysiology is complex, and involves genetic, environmental and hormonal factors, leading to tolerance rupture. Among regulatory cells, Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) have been described as being increased during SLE, furthermore during flares. MDSCs are defined phenotypically as being HLA-DR-CD3-CD19-CD33+CD11b+, and either CD14+ (Monocytic MDSCs), CD15+ (Granulocytic MDSCs), or CD14-CD15- (Early-stage MDSCs). However, data regarding their immunosuppressive properties are conflicting, some studies identifying regulatory properties, while other have demonstrated a pro-inflammatory involvement through the induction of Th17 lymphocytes.

To gain insight into the involvement of MDSC in SLE, both deep phenotypical characterization of MDSC and functional assessment will be performed, as well as immunometabolic characterization. This data will be correlated to the clinical presentation and activity of SLE.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2022. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Thomas Moulinet, MD (+33383155304, t.moulinet@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MDSC percentage among total PBMC (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 4 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 21 Jun 2022.
