NCT ID NCT04461158
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program where a patient navigator helped minority adults with lupus overcome barriers to care, like scheduling appointments, arranging transportation, and understanding their health. The goal was to see if this support could improve quality of life and medication adherence. The study involved 75 participants and compared those who received navigator help to those who got usual care.
