The Impact of Childhood-Onset Lupus on the Developing Brain

Abstract

This research study seeks to understand how and why childhood-onset lupus affects the developing adolescent brain. The study will look for better ways to identify early cognitive changes, and the factors contributing to the changes. We will use advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques to learn about brain structure and function in adolescents newly diagnosed with lupus. We will study these adolescents over time, and compare their brain development to that of healthy peers. Initiation of the study has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is currently under review for final approval by the sponsor.
