NCT05843643
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an immune-mediated disease associated with inflammation of multiple organ systems. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating adult participants with moderately to severely active SLE. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is an approved drug for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondylarthritis and is being developed for the treatment of SLE. This study is "double-blinded", which means that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given upadacitinib and who will be given placebo (does not contain treatment drug) . This study comprised of 4 sub studies. In Study 1 and Study 2, study doctors put the participants in 1 of the 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Eligible participants from Study 1 and Study 2 will enter Study 3 at week 52 to receive specific doses of upadacitinib. Study 4 is a 104-week continued extension if participation is likely to provide a benefit to their SLE. Approximately 500 participants diagnosed with SLE will be enrolled in each of the Study 1 and Study 2 in approximately 320 sites across the world. Participants will receive oral tablets of upadacitinib or matching placebo once daily for 52 weeks in Study 1 and Study 2. Eligible participants from Study 1 and Study 2 will receive oral tablets of upadacitinib once daily for 52 weeks in Study 3. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
NCT04291014

NCT05648500
The goal of this clinical trial is to see how well cenerimod reduces symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in adult patients with moderate to severe symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How well cenerimod works on top of the treatment already being administered. * How safe cenerimod is for adult patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Researchers will compare one dose of cenerimod and a placebo to see how well cenerimod works when it is added to the treatment already being administered. In this research study approximately 210 participants will receive cenerimod and approximately 210 participants will receive placebo for 12 months.
NCT06839976
This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label phase 1/2 study of CART19 in children and young adults with refractory Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), including both patients diagnosed with lupus nephritis (LN) and patients with non-renal Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Phase 1 will evaluate the safety of CART19 in 6-12 patients with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). There is no planned dose escalation, but a dose de-escalation will be made based on the incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities. Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy and further evaluate the safety of CART19 in this population.
NCT06152172

The trial anticipates enrolling participants to reach a maximum of 24 participants who will receive 1 dose of KYV-101 and will be followed for 2 years.
NCT05629208
The goal of this clinical study is to test how edecesertib (formerly known as GS-5718) can be useful in treating Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) in participants with CLE. Information on what is happening in the body relating to CLE, how the body processes, is affected by and responds to the study drug, and any study drug side effects will also be collected in this study.
NCT06434558
The goal of this observational study is to further evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of the Cryosa Procedure, a novel procedure intended to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The patient population includes participants with OSA who are enrolled in the ARCTIC-3 study and are undergoing the Cryosa Procedure. The main questions to be answered are: (1) evaluate predictors of successful treatment with the Cryosa Procedure, which is described in more detail in the ARCTIC-3 protocol (IRB #854182), and (2) evaluate a potential mechanism of action of this novel therapy. The study team hypothesizes that higher baseline quantities of oropharyngeal fat and higher baseline upper airway neurotonic activity will be correlated with a successful reduction in OSA symptom severity as measured by a change in apnea-hypopnea index values. The study team also hypothesizes that responders will have a decrease in oropharyngeal fat, which would indicate the mechanism of action of this novel therapy is a loss in oropharyngeal fat. Participants will be asked to: 1. have an MRI before undergoing the Cryosa Procedure 2. have an ultrasound before the Cryosa Procedure 3. permit the use of pressure-sensing catheters and ultrasound during their drug-induced sleep endoscopy, which is part of the ARCTIC-3 protocol 4. have an MRI after the Cryosa Procedure 5. have an ultrasound after the Cryosa Procedure.
NCT04572269

Aim 2 is a prospective study that will collect serum samples from OSA subjects at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Iceland.
NCT05938725
A Study of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Subjects With Refractory Lupus Nephritis
NCT04287062
This study is designed to elucidate the role of the orexin neurotransmitter system in sleep disturbance and circadian rhythms of stress that might in turn influence relapse behaviors in persons on medication-assisted treatments (MAT) who are in early recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD). Briefly, the study will enroll recently abstinent OUD patients (N=200) maintained on either extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX), buprenorphine, or methadone. Within each MAT group, participants will be randomized to either suvorexant or placebo. The study is expected to have a 20% treatment attrition rate which will result in N=160 completers in the entire study. Patients will be recruited from and treated at Ashley Addiction Treatment, Addiction Treatment Services at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Man Alive, or community providers.
NCT06568367
SUSTAIN (Studying Solriamfetol Modulation of TAAR-1, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine in Shift Work Disorder) is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel- group trial to assess the efficacy and safety of solriamfetol in adults with excessive sleepiness associated with shift work disorder (SWD).
NCT05113745

NCT04961567
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called litifilimab (BIIB059) in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The study will focus on participants who have active disease and are already taking standard of care medications. These may include antimalarials, steroids, and immunosuppressants. The main objective of the study is to learn about the effect litifilimab has on lowering the activity of the disease. The main question researchers want to answer is: \- How many participants have an improvement in their symptoms after 52 weeks of treatment? Researchers will answer this and other questions by measuring the symptoms of SLE over time using a variety of scoring tools. These include the SLE Responder Index (SRI), the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index-2000 (SLEDAI-2K), the British Isles Lupus Activity Group-2004 index (BILAG-2004), and the BILAG-BASED Combined Lupus Assessment (BICLA), among others. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of litifilimab. They will study how participants' immune systems respond to litifilimab. Additionally, they will measure the effect litifilimab and SLE have on the quality of life of participants using a group of questionnaires. The study will be done as follows: * After screening, participants will be randomized to receive either a high or low dose of litifilimab, or placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * All participants will receive either litifilimab or placebo as injections under the skin once every 4 weeks. The treatment period will last 52 weeks. Participants will continue to take their standard of care medications. * Neither the researchers nor the participants will know if the participants are receiving litifilimab or placebo. * There will be a follow-up safety period that lasts up to 24 weeks. * In total, participants will have up to 22 study visits. The total study duration for participants will be up to 80 weeks.
