Every advance in the understanding of a disease such as lupus—its causes, its effects on the body, the development of new drugs and treatments—is based on research.
The Lupus Foundation of America’s Center for Clinical Trials Education is the resource for people with lupus and their families who are considering participation in a clinical trial.
Our Center provides:
- a comprehensive search tool for clinical trial information
- points to consider before participating in a clinical trial
- a guide to clinical research terms
- the latest news on lupus and clinical research
- resources for additional information and support
According to CenterWatch, 94% of people recognize the importance of participating in clinical research in order to assist in the advancement of medical science. Yet 75% of the general public state that they have little to no knowledge about the clinical research enterprise and the participation process.
More than 1.5 million people live with lupus.
