Relationship Between Data Obtained With the LuGENE® Multiparameter Transcriptomics Blood Test and Clinical and Standard Laboratory Features of Patients With SLE (ReLATE)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is an open label study to determine the association of the data obtained with LuGENE®, a transcriptomic-based LDT, with standard evaluation of patients diagnosed with SLE, including clinical involvement, SLEDAI score, Physician Global Assessment (PGA) and standard laboratory measures, including ANA, anti-DNA, anti-RNP and complement components C3 and C4, as well as Patient Reported Outcomes capturing pain, fatigue and Health-Related Quality of Life. The test will be administered on one occasion to patients with a clinical diagnosis of lupus or incomplete lupus and clinical and laboratory features evaluated contemporaneously. This trial includes a pilot study of approximately 10 subjects from 2-3 sites to assess whether the delivery times of LuGENE® laboratory results do not exceed more than 7 business days.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- LuGENE clinical decision support relative to clinical disease activity [16 months]
The primary endpoint is to determine the capacity of LuGENE® to support clinical decision making by Health Care Professionals (HCPs) providing care to lupus patients. This will be determined by comparing the data obtained with LuGENE®, a transcriptomic-based LDT, with standard evaluation of patients diagnosed with SLE, including clinical activity (SLEDAI score) Physician Global Assessment (PGA).
- LuGENE clinical decision support relative to lab measures [16 months]
The co-primary endpoint is to determine the capacity of LuGENE® to support clinical decision making by Health Care Professionals (HCPs) providing care to lupus patients. This will be determined by comparing the data obtained with LuGENE® with standard laboratory measures of lupus (ANA, anti-DNA, anti-RNP and complement components C3 and C4)
- LuGENE clinical decision support relative to PROs [16 months]
The co-primary endpoint is to determine the capacity of LuGENE® to support clinical decision making by Health Care Professionals (HCPs) providing care to lupus patients. This will be determined by comparing the data obtained with LuGENE with standard evaluation of patient reported outcomes using standard instruments capturing pain, fatigue and Health-Related Quality of Life.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- LuGENE score correlation to Immune Function with Biomarker endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE Score with Immune function in SLE patients using Biomarkers (Anti-DNA, anti-RNP, Complement C3/C4 levels).
- LuGENE score correlation to Clinical Feature endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE Score with Clinical features of SLE using SLEDAI-2K with sub-domains, ACR/EULAR Lupus diagnostic criteria, Physician Global Assessment (PGA)
- LuGENE score correlation to Quality of Life PROs endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE Score with Quality of Life measures using validated patient PROs (SF-36, fatigue by FACIT-F, Fatigue VAS, Pain VAS, Patient Global Assessment (PtGA))
- LuGENE subset membership correlation to Immune Function with Biomarker endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE® determined subset membership with Immune function in SLE patients using Biomarkers (Anti-DNA, anti-RNP, Complement C3/C4 levels).
- LuGENE subset membership correlation to Clinical Feature endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE® determined subset membership with Clinical features of SLE using SLEDAI-2K with sub-domains, ACR/EULAR Lupus diagnostic criteria, Physician Global Assessment (PGA)
- LuGENE subset membership correlation to Quality of Life PROs endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE® determined subset membership with Quality of Life measures using validated patient PROs (SF-36, fatigue by FACIT-F, Fatigue VAS, Pain VAS, Patient Global Assessment (PtGA))
- LuGENE profile correlation to Immune Function with Biomarker endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE® profile with Immune function in SLE patients using Biomarkers (Anti-DNA, anti-RNP, Complement C3/C4 levels).
- LuGENE profile correlation to Clinical Feature endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE® profile with Clinical features of SLE using SLEDAI-2K with sub-domains, ACR/EULAR Lupus diagnostic criteria, Physician Global Assessment (PGA)
- LuGENE profile correlation to Quality of Life PROs endpoint: [16 months]
The association of the LuGENE® profile with Quality of Life measures using validated patient PROs (SF-36, fatigue by FACIT-F, Fatigue VAS, Pain VAS, Patient Global Assessment (PtGA))
Other Outcome Measures
- Physician use and satisfaction [16 months]
Evaluate the patterns of physician use and opinion of value of LuGENE® using a focused questionnaire created for this trial
