We’ve just been approached by Medicys Limited who are looking for participants for another research study. They are looking to conduct interviews to get a better understanding of experiences and perceptions of SLE and the associated treatments.

They are offering an honorarium of £30 to anybody that completes the study, which will either involve a face-to-face or telephone interview.

Participants must have a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), be aged between 18 and 70 and receive MabThera or Methotrexate. Those that receive Methotrexate must have had lupus for over 15 years and be classed as severe. If you meet these criteria then please contact Lacey Stowell on 01795 426 655 or email l.stowell@medicysltd.co.uk to complete a further screening and see if you are eligible for the study.

Hi,

I am on Methotrexate, For mr it has been a wonder drug, but it does have its problems, but all of them are worth it as far as I am concerned.

I hope you can tolerate it well.
