Clinical trials are research studies designed to test the safety and effectiveness of new treatments, procedures, or medical devices. These trials are essential in determining whether a drug or therapy can help people with lupus and whether it is safe for long-term use.
At any given time, thousands of clinical trials are being conducted worldwide, and in recent years, the number of lupus-specific clinical trials has grown significantly. These studies are helping to advance treatment options, improve patient outcomes, and bring us closer to a cure.
Lupus remains a complex and unpredictable disease, and while current treatments help manage symptoms, more targeted, effective, and safer options are needed. Clinical trials play a critical role in making these advancements possible.
Participating in a lupus clinical trial can help:
At Lupus LA, we bridge the gap between the patient community and clinical research opportunities. We understand that clinical trials can be a source of both hope and uncertainty for patients, and we aim to be a trusted resource for clear, accessible, and accurate information. We believe that every lupus patient should be their own best advocate, and that starts with education and awareness.
If you’re considering participation in a lupus clinical trial, we encourage you to explore the active trials listed below and speak to your doctor to determine if the trial is right for you. Each trial includes a direct link to the research team or organization running the study so you can learn more, determine eligibility, and connect with experts.
Taking part in a clinical trial is a personal decision, and Lupus LA is here to help provide the information, education and support that you need to make the choice that’s right for you.
