Observational Study of Cardiac Arrhythmias in Subjects Treated with BTK Inhibitors
Pharmacologic therapy with Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors is associated with an increased risk of heart problems like atrial fibrillation, bleeding, and high blood pressure (hypertension) which can lead to sudden death. There is currently no standard for cardiac screening or monitoring patients on BTK inhibitors. Researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) are investigating the relationship between the development of heart problems in patients on BTKi as it relates to other variables.

Double-blind Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of NAD+ Boosting with Nicotinamide Riboside on Immunometabolism and Immunity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) creates an imbalance in the innate immune system responsible for chronic inflammation. A study at NHLBI is looking into a Vitamin B supplement, nicotinamide riboside (NR), to see if it improves immune system function in people with SLE. People with SLE will be asked to take the supplement or placebo for 12 weeks. Healthy control subjects will be enrolled to compare baseline blood results but will not take the supplement.
