NCT ID NCT00775476
First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a supplement, can help control lupus, a chronic disease where the immune system attacks the body. About 290 adults with lupus will first take NAC for 3 months to find a safe dose, then half will continue NAC and half will get a placebo for another 10 months. The goal is to see if NAC reduces lupus symptoms and improves immune function without serious side effects.
