A Pilot Study to Explore the Role of Gut Flora in Lupus

Study Purpose

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed informed consent, demonstrating that the patient understands the procedures required for the study and the purpose of the study. a. May be signed by parent or legal guardian in the case of minor or adult unable to provide consent. 2. Male or female of all ages. (interest is given to children who present with autism or Crohn's and whose parents wish to analyze their children's gut flora. Also of interest analysis of development of the child's microbiome. In the case of autism, the younger the child, the better to correct the neurological problems if an association is found between autism and the microbiome) 3. Diagnosis of Lupus by a physician.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Refusal to sign informed consent form. 2. History of bariatric surgery, total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis or proctocolectomy. 3. Postoperative stoma, ostomy, or ileoanal pouch. 4. Participation in any experimental drug protocol within the past 12 weeks. 5. Treatment with total parenteral nutrition

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04213690
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
