Living with lupus and want to learn more?
This website provides information about a clinical research study, GARDENIA-SLE, for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) commonly called lupus.

What are clinical research studies?
Clinical research studies, also called clinical trials, are conducted to determine whether an investigational medicine is safe and effective for patients with a particular disease. “Investigational” means that the medicine has not been approved for public use in patients with lupus and is still being evaluated in clinical research studies like GARDENIA-SLE. All investigational medicines must go through several phases of clinical research before they are made available to the public. All clinical research studies are performed according to strict ethical and governmental guidelines to ensure that participants’ rights and safety are protected while they are taking part in the study.
