Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

To whom does the enrollment criteria for this medical experiment extend?

"This clinical trial requires that participants have lupus nephritis and are between 18 to 75 years old. The study is seeking a total of 57 enrollees."

Answered by AI

Does the eligibility criteria for this clinical trial allow those beneath 60 years of age to participate?

"The age range for eligibility into this clinical trial is 18 to 75, as indicated in the inclusion criteria."

Answered by AI

Are there any openings presently available to enrollees for this research?

"According to the listing on clinicaltrials.gov, this particular research initiative is not presently recruiting patients. It was originally posted in September 2018 and last edited November 2022. Although no longer seeking enrollees, there are 40 alternate studies enrolling participants at this time."

Answered by AI

What aims is this medical trial aiming to accomplish?

"The Novartis Pharmaceuticals study sponsor has reported that the primary objective of this trial, measured over 25 weeks, is to assess safety through adverse events. Additionally, secondary outcomes such as Urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) and hematuria and cellular casts will be noted in order to evaluate renal effect. Plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of CFZ533 which includes AUClast: area under plasma concentration-time curve calculated to the last quantifiable concentration point and complete renal remission according to ACR recommendation are also being monitored."

Answered by AI

Has CFZ533 been granted permission to be distributed by the Food and Drug Administration?

"Our experts at Power rated the safety of CFZ533 as a 2, due to evidence from Phase 2 trials that suggests this drug has some secure properties but no data attesting to its efficacy."
