Neutrophil Traps and Lupus Kidney Disease Study
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny structures made by white blood cells, called neutrophil extracellular traps, in people with lupus kidney disease. It aims to understand their role and may lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with lupus based on official criteria.
- You have active kidney disease from lupus that needs a biopsy.
- You are about to start a standard treatment for lupus kidney disease.
- You do not have another kidney disease, active infection, or cancer.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or on certain recent treatments.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a simple urine test to see if it can show how active lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) is. It might help doctors monitor the condition without needing repeated biopsies.
This trial tests two biologic drugs (belimumab or telitacicept) compared to a standard treatment (mycophenolate mofetil) for people with active lupus nephritis. The goal is to see if biologics work better at controlling kidney inflammation over 6 months.
This trial is testing a new type of medicine called a 'bispecific antibody' for people whose lupus nephritis has not responded to standard treatments or keeps coming back. The goal is to find a safe dose that might better control the kidney inflammation.
This study looks at how well the kidneys survive over time in people with lupus nephritis. It uses medical records from the past 2–5 years to understand what affects kidney health.
This study looks at whether a specific antibody (anti-alpha-actinin) in the blood is linked to active lupus kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand and monitor kidney problems in people with lupus.
This study looks at tiny particles in urine to better understand and monitor lupus-related kidney problems. It may help find better ways to track the disease without invasive biopsies.
