A Study of Enpatoran in Participants With Cutaneous Manifestations of Lupus With or Without Systemic Disease (ELOWEN-2)

The purpose of this global, multicenter, Phase 3 study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enpatoran over 24 weeks in participants with active cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus with or without systemic disease. Study details include: Study Duration: Up to 35 weeks. Treatment Duration: 24 weeks. Visit Frequency: every 4 weeks, with the exception of the Week 2 televisit. Study Intervention Name: Enpatoran, Placebo. Intervention Form: Film-coated tablet.

A Phase III Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Anifrolumab in Adults With Chronic and/or Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (SC) anifrolumab versus placebo in adult participants with chronic and/or subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE).

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Profile of ACT100 in Healthy Participants..

This study is a Phase Ia, single-center, randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile of ACT100 in healthy participants. A total of 6 dose cohorts are planned, with each cohort enrolling 8 participants (including both male and female participants, where 6 will receive the investigational drug and 2 will receive placebo). The total planned enrollment is 48 healthy participants.

Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of SOF-SKN in Healthy Participants

The goal of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the topical application of SOF-SKN in healthy volunteers. The study will be divided into part 1 and part 2. Part 1, is a single ascending dose (SAD) design, while Part 2 is a multiple ascending dose (MAD) design.

Tapinarof for Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus

The investigators hypothesize that topical application of Tapinarof, an FDA-approved topical Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, would inhibit lupus-causing T cells and lead to improvement of cutaneous lupus lesions. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will perform a prospective, interventional clinical trial in patients with chronic and/or subacute cutaneous lupus. This trial will include outcomes analyzing the change in cutaneous lupus lesions using standardized assessments, but also analyze pre- and post-treatment skin and blood immune parameters to elucidate the immune effects and changes in lupus as a result of topical AHR agonist application. The goals are to 1) identify if topical AHR agonism leads to improvement in cutaneous lupus, and 2) examine the immunopathology of cutaneous lupus and its alteration with topical AHR agonist treatment.

Deep Phenotyping of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune disease of which the pathogenesis and pathophysiology are not fully understood. Given the complex and heterogeneous character of the disease, identification, and development of specific biomarkers for diagnosis, disease subtyping, disease severity, and treatment response in CLE is challenging. Therefore, the main objective of the current study is to further characterize CLE by using a deep phenotyping approach. Moreover, the role of TLR7 activation in the pathophysiology of the various clinical subtypes of CLE will be specifically studied. With this approach the investigators aim to characterize objectively measured disease characteristics and detect novel biomarkers for CLE(-subtypes).
