New Clinical Research Study is Seeking Participants Diagnosed with Skin Lupus

This study is the first study for individuals with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of an investigational medication. Clinical trials are critical in the search for a better life for people with lupus. While clinical studies are critical, it's important to know the facts about research before deciding whether or not to participate. People who have been diagnosed with skin lupus for at least 18 months and who are struggling to control their symptoms may be eligible to participate in this study.

1. Be 18 years or older
2. Have a clinical diagnosis of DLE (discoid lupus erythematosus )or SCLE (subcutaneous lupus erythematosus) for more than 16 weeks before screening for the study
