Official title: ROLE of PLATELETS in the PATHOPHYSIOLOGY of SYSTEMIC LUPUS

Run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT06593041 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study looks at how activated platelets interact with immune cells in people with autoimmune diseases like lupus and scleroderma to see how these interactions might affect their condition.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 70 with a confirmed diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus or other specified autoimmune diseases.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not have any of the specified autoimmune diseases or are unable to provide informed consent may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the interactions between activated platelets and immune cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases such as systemic scleroderma, ANCA vasculitis, inflammatory myositis, and Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome. The research focuses on how these interactions may contribute to the pathophysiology of these conditions, particularly in cases of high disease activity. By comparing platelet-immune cell interactions across different autoimmune diseases, the study seeks to enhance understanding of the immune dysregulation associated with SLE and similar disorders.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved therapeutic strategies targeting platelet-immune cell interactions in autoimmune diseases.

How similar studies have gone: While this study explores novel interactions, previous research has indicated that targeting platelet-immune cell interactions may improve symptoms in related conditions.
