About this study

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease that involve many different organs and display a variable clinical course.The prevalence of SLE varies across gender, race/ethnicity, and geographic regions. SLE demonstrates a striking female predominance with a peak incidence of disease during the reproductive years. In adults, the female to male ratio is 10- Renal involvement is common in SLE and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. It is estimated that as many as 90% of patients with SLE will have pathologic evidence of renal involvement on biopsy, but clinically significant nephritis will develop in only 50%. AII is a potent pro-inflammatory modulator with the ability to augment the immune responses in renal and non-renal tissues. Specifically in the kidney, AII stimulates mononuclear cells, favoring hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mesangial, tubular cells and interstitial fibroblasts, and increases expression and synthesis of the extracellular protein matrix leading to fibrosis.

Angiotensin II and strong candidate for a mediator of the development and progression of renal disease in SLE has been found to promote glomerular cell proliferation, alter growth factor expression, and activate proinflammatory cytokines, all of which promote glomerulosclerosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yasmine A Mohamed, resident (01032071095, yasmine_abdelfattah_post@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme test (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05516511, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 9 Nov 2022.
