Lupus symptoms and their severity vary from person to person, but with proper care, many individuals can manage the condition effectively. Most people with lupus go on to live long, fulfilling lives.
Hightower Clinical is conducting systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) clinical trials to discover new and effective treatment options for those living with SLE.
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease where your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, causing inflammation throughout the body. This condition can affect multiple organs, including the skin, blood, joints, kidneys, brain, heart, and lungs. The most common type is called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which impacts the entire body.
Lupus affects women far more often than men, with about 90% of cases occurring in females. Symptoms can vary and may come and go over time. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider if you notice new pain, rashes, hair loss, or skin and eye changes.
To help advance treatment options, Hightower Clinical is currently conducting a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a study drug in participants diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Hightower Clinical is conducting a research study for individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug. The study is open to adults with active SLE who have completed a previous related trial and are on standard treatments like corticosteroids or immunosuppressants.
Qualified participants will receive all study-related care at no cost and be closely monitored by experienced physicians through regular health assessments and exams.
SLE is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes widespread inflammation and affects various organs. Common symptoms include joint pain, fatigue, rashes, and sensitivity to sunlight.
If you’re living with SLE and want to explore potential treatment options, filling out the form is the first step to see if you qualify.

This clinical study aims to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of a potential treatment for individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who have active disease and are already receiving standard of care treatments such as antimalarials, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants. It is an extension of earlier studies and is open to participants who completed the treatment periods of those previous trials.

SLE symptoms can vary widely from person to person and often come and go. While almost everyone with SLE experiences joint pain and swelling at some point, other symptoms may affect different organs and systems in the body.
Joint pain and swelling, especially in the fingers, hands, wrists, and knees
Some individuals may only experience symptoms on their skin, a form known as discoid lupus. Because lupus affects multiple systems, symptoms can overlap with other conditions, making early detection and diagnosis essential. If you notice any of the above signs, consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation.
