Research from Papazoglou et al. highlights the substantial risk of atherosclerosis progression and incident cardiovascular events in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as the importance of prolonged remission and the sustained control of cardiovascular risk factors in mitigating these risks over time.
Autoantibodies Illuminate Lupus Nephritis
Fava et al. investigated longitudinal autoantibody profiles in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) to define serological biomarkers of histologic class. They found that baseline levels of anti-C1q and anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies may serve as noninvasive biomarkers of proliferative LN and anti-C1q antibodies may predict complete response.
Lupus Update: Findings from the Latest Phase 3 Clinical Trials
Two new treatment studies among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis had promising results.
Lupus: Closer to a Cause?
Two studies outline the roles of air pollution and T cell imbalance in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Helping Patients with SLE Thrive
Dr. Laurent Arnaud highlighted the latest information on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), including genetics, technology, treat to target, and promising findings for pulse therapy in his session at EULAR 2024.
CAR-T Cell Therapy in Autoimmune Disease: The Next Frontier
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has the potential to fundamentally shift the treatment of autoimmune disease. During his presentation at EULAR 2024, Georg Schett, MD, provided an overview of this treatment process and described the promising findings of the latest research.
2 AC&R Study Summaries: Racial Disparities in Lupus Trials & Post-Discharge Follow-Up in Lupus
Racial Disparities in Lupus Clinical Trial Participation By Saira Z. Sheikh, MD Why was this study done? Lupus disproportionately affects Black and Latino populations, particularly women in childbearing years. Clinical trials of patients with lupus can advance the development of therapeutics and access to better treatments, as well as improve health outcomes for patients. However,…
Platelets in the Pathogenesis of SLE
In a study, El Bannoudi et al. found that platelets contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE by secreting the proinflammatory platelet-associated lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP), which also represents a novel biomarker of SLE clinical activity.
Rheumatology Medications with Limited Safety Data: How Do We Use Them in Pregnant Patients?
How does a rheumatologist treat a pregnant woman when many medications are not approved for pregnancy or safety data are limited?
What’s New in SLE: Pathogenesis & Novel Therapies
Thomas Dörner, MD, reviewed the current state of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) management, providing updates on novel therapies and insights into the pathogenesis of SLE.
