ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the immune system ages in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a condition that affects the body's immune system and can cause various health issues. The researchers want to understand if and how aging affects the immune systems of patients with lupus, which could help improve treatments and care for those living with the disease.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 60 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. Both men and women are welcome to join. However, pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as individuals who are unable to give consent due to legal reasons or age restrictions, cannot participate. If you choose to join, you will be asked to sign a consent form, and you can expect to provide information about your health and lupus experience. This study is currently looking for participants, so it's an opportunity to contribute to important research that could benefit many others with lupus.
