As part of its cooperation with the ERN ReCONNET, Lupus Europe is launching an important survey, which we would like to ask you to disseminate as largely as you can to people actually living with lupus. We have made the effort of providing 13 different languages, and are open to adding new ones, so we hope that the responses will be at the measure of the effort. Our objective is to have at least 1 answer per 200,000 inhabitants in your country… Make the count and help us beat it.

The survey will be available at this link https://www.surveylegend.com/s/1gr6 till the end of June. It typically takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

While several questions are focused, on a current hot topic (discover which one by taking part in the survey 😊) there is more to it than you can think at a first glance. This survey is a first effort to collect some general information, which we will then be able to use next year when for the big Living with Lupus in 2020 survey. The more answers we get, the more feedback we obtain on the tool and the questions, … the better equipped we will be for the 2020 survey.

Share the link on  your Facebook group(s), send it to friends, encourage participation and distribute as widely as you can to people living with lupus, so that we gather valuable information. the only condition to participate is to have any form of lupus…

Thank you for your support

🚨 Call for patients🚨

🔊 INSPIRE SURVEY from the University of Cambridge.

This survey aims to improve the understanding of neurological symptoms in SLE and other rheumatic conditions.

Lupus is a very heterogeneous disease, which means that it affects people of different ethnic backgrounds and gender in different ways.

That is why, to get accurate research results, as many different groups as possible must be represented in the sample.

The INSPIRE survey was launched last year to get the patient experience on the assessment/monitoring of neurological symptoms, but they received very few responses from people from ethnic minorities.

That is why the research team led by Dr Chris Wincup has launched a new survey.

The new INSPIRE survey can be completed by lupus patients or their carers from around the world.

🟣 Please share as much as possible 🟣 in order to get a sample that includes a good proportion of all ethnic groups.

Thank you!

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the most common form of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus. It is characterised by persistent scaly plaques on the scalp, face, and ears, which can progress to scarring, atrophy, depigmentation, and permanent hair loss in affected hair-bearing areas (Source: DermNet).

This study, published by Prof Marca Mosca et al., describes 2 cases of severe and refractory DLE successfully treated with anifrolumab, a human monoclonal antibody.

Although anifrolumab has been recently approved for the treatment of SLE, data from randomized clinical trials have shown a significant difference in cutaneous response rate in patients treated with anifrolumab from those in the placebo group.

While the effectiveness of this treatment in real life and in different types of skin lesions has yet to be determined, it could represent a new valid opportunity for treating DLE.
