Exploring Biomarkers for Therapeutic Response of Lupus Nephritis Based on Multi Omics Analysis

December 4, 2023 updated by: Chinese SLE Treatment And Research Group

Exploring Biomarkers for Therapeutic Response of Lupus Nephritis Based on Multi Omics

This is an observational study of patients with lupus nephritis aiming to find biomarkers that can predict patients' response to immunosuppressants. We planed to collect 100 lupus nephritis patients' peripheral blood,kidney tissues and urine before and after treatment (mycophenolate mofetil or cyclophosphamide, in combination with glucocorticoids). Then multi omics analysis, including single cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and CITE-seq, will be performed to find new biomarkers for patients' response and prognosis.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All patients visit Rheumatology and Immunology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and fulfill the inclusion criteria.

  8. Total bilirubin or blood lipid that is greater than 2 times the upper limit of the normal value.
  9. Other conditions that not suitable for inclusion in the study, assessed by the investigators.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
MMF treatment
Patients that have been diagnosed as III/IV ± V LN and treated with MMF 2g/d in combination with glucocorticoid.
CYC treatment
Patients that have been diagnosed as III/IV ± V LN and treated with CYC 0.5g IV per two weeks in combination with glucocorticoid.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Treatment response of patients
Time Frame: 24 weeks
The proportion of patients who achieve complete response, partial response or no response 24 weeks after baseline
24 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease progression
Time Frame: 24 weeks
Clinical indices that can indicate the progression of disease, including 24-hour urinary protein, routine urine and blood tests, immune indices and patients' syndromes, will be evaluated at 4, 12, 24 weeks after baseline to monitor the progression of lupus nephritis.
24 weeks
Adverse events during the study
Time Frame: 24 weeks
All adverse events, severe adverse events and proportion of patients who discontinued the treatment due to adverse events within the duration of the study.
24 weeks

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Estimated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 5, 2023

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
