In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Blood platelets, well known for their role in hemostasis, are abnormally activated in patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but also from other immunomediated diseases (scleroderma, vasculitis, myositis, Gougerot-Sjögren's and rheumatoid arthritis) in cases of high disease activity. Once activated, platelets express adhesion molecules such as P-selectin on their surface, enabling them to interact physically with immune cells. In a recent work, we identified that activated platelets from lupus patients interact with regulatory T cells and block their regulatory function, thus participating in the deregulated activation of the immune system in SLE. In addition, inhibition of platelet-immune cell interactions by an anti-P-selectin antibody improved LES symptoms in two mouse models. The aim of this work is to investigate other potential platelet-immune cell interaction
