about Lupus

Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys.

Center for Clinical Trials Education

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 Center for Clinical Trials Education 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.
