Meet LFM’s 2014 Lupus Ambassador With 24 years as a support group leader behind her, Jan Jundt continues to defy the odds through family and humor By Mercedes Pitzer, contributor This year’s Lupus Ambassador is one of the longest serving volunteers in the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota’s (LFM) history – Jan Jundt. For 24 years, Jan facilitated a support group with her husband, Dave, in Bismarck, North Dakota, and more recently has been a regular participant at the Lupus Walk for Hope and 5K Run - Twin Cities. Jan was first diagnosed with lupus on Dec. 14, 1989. She was admitted into the hospital and was given just 24 hours to live because each of her internal organs, except her heart and brain, were failing. For those 10 days, she does not remember a single thing and explains that she “left (her body) for a while.” During this time, she heard a voice say, “You have much left to do yet, Jan.” When she awoke, it was Christmas Eve. Her family was relieved, and Jan said with good humor, “There’s no way you’re getting rid of me that easy; I’m not done yet!” Since then, Jan has had many flares landing her back in the hospital – two of which were life-

threatening. Between 2010 and 2011, she was hospitalized every month with the exception of two. She has had both of her hips replaced, as well as her wrist, and major back fusion surgery. Currently, she is dealing with Charcot Foot. After all is said and done, Dave jokes that Jan is like a cat with nine lives and she has used up three already. Her family refers to her many trips to the hospital by ambulance as Jan’s chariot ride. “It sounds better; less depressing,” Jan said. As for everyday challenges, Jan explains that fatigue and joint pain are her biggest ones. Just like her theme song “Tubthumping (I Get Knocked Down)” by Chumbawamba, she may have days where she is knocked down by lupus, but no matter what, Jan is sure to get back up and keep on going. Together, Jan and Dave have three daughters: Tressa (35), Kelli (31), and Amy (30). They are a very close family and each member does their part in helping out Jan whenever it may be needed. To them, it is not that Jan has lupus, but rather they all do. They prefer to live by the mantra “we have SEE “AMBASSADOR,” CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Meet Mara Q&A with an LFM support group volunteer giving back, and still receiving The Lupus Foundation of Minnesota recently asked Mara Locketz of Minneapolis to answer some questions about living with lupus and her reasons for getting involved with the organization. Here she tells about her inspiration, incorporating her job into her volunteer work and how she’s posed to help with a new support group. Q: What is your occupation?

Perhaps one of the best things I did for myself Mara Locketz during that time was calling the phone number of a group facilitator – Debra Turner. Talking to someone else who was living with lupus and could tell me not just about the long-term effects of the disease, but also dispel some of the fears I was having about the quality of life I should expect for myself, was lifesaving.

Q: Tell us about your immediate family. A: Unfortunately, it is just my brother Garrett and I now. Our mom passed away from colon cancer in 2002 and my father recently lost his battle with depression. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m lucky that my brother and I are close and able to lean on each other for support. Q: Why did you choose to get involved with LFM?

word out. I think with 25 years of experience of living with lupus, I can maybe help a little.” During her time as the Lupus Ambassador, Jan hopes to learn from others, meet new people, and listen to other’s stories about what they have gone through throughout the years. She also wants to share her story in order to let others know that they are not alone. “There are others going through the very same thing,” Jan said, “probably in different ways, but they are still dealing with the same thing and they need to know that.”

“Meet Mara” continued from page 2 Q: In your opinion, what role do support groups play in the life of a lupus patient? A: Living with lupus inevitably brings a multitude of emotional and physical considerations into one’s life that is often difficult for nonsufferers to understand and/or sympathize with. In addition to dealing with feelings of anger, sadness, and anxiety about what the future will bring, lupus patients also have to deal with unique situations, such as navigating the healthcare system, communicating with doctors and family members, recognizing the signs of a flare, and considerations for safe enjoyment of the sun. Support groups offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment to discuss these issues and so many more with others who really “get it.” It can also be a place not just to commiserate, but also to share experiences of hope and resilience. Q: What is the biggest challenge of lupus for you? A: Since it’s summer, all of my other symptoms take a backseat (in

terms of importance) to my painful skin rashes from the sun. I swear I should buy stock in Coolibar because I own so much of their UPF clothing! I have always been an active, “outdoorsy” person and as a result, I’ve done my best to figure out ways to still do what I love while staying protected. Last fall, while wearing about a pound of sunscreen, a protective hat, and sun-resistant clothing, I was able to complete a 15-mile hike through Glacier National Park. That felt amazing. Q: What’s the best part of volunteering with LFM? A: Being able to give back to a community that has given so much to me.

Research

Innovative collaboration finds new possibilities in existing treatments The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) announced last fall that it will be working on a cooperative project with the Lupus Research Institute (LRI) to identify new treatments for lupus. In the past 50 years, there has only been one new FDA-approved drug for lupus; while there are a number in the pipeline (see article at right), the need for new and effective treatment options continues to grow in urgency. With a focus on accelerating these efforts, ALR and LRI have committed to work together on a novel approach. According to the ALR website, “there are approximately 70 existing therapies that have been approved for other conditions – multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, transplant rejection or cancer – that potentially could be used to treat lupus.” ALR and LRI will analyze and prioritize each potential lupus therapy based on “mechanism of action, safety profile, availability, feasibility to carry out a trial in lupus, and likelihood to succeed.” Then, a panel of experts will review the collection and choose about 20 therapies for further research. Recently, ALR and LRI joined with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to launch the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP), which will help “speed new paths to treatment for lupus and autoimmune diseases.” This $230 million collaboration will use collective knowledge from various companies,

Potential new medications in development bring hope for the future From new drugs to cutting-edge genetic research, the dynamic growth in clinical efforts to understand and treat lupus is encouraging. More than a dozen drugs are currently in the clinical trial pipeline. The chart below describes the process and highlights where these lupus-specific drugs are in development. Follow the progress of these drugs through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process by visiting the National Institutes of Health at ClinicalTrials.gov and the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation at ciscrp.org.

PHASE AND PURPOSE PHASE I: To assess the safety and tolerability of the drug and identify any physiological effects and what the body does with the drug. Small groups (20 - 50) of healthy volunteers.

PHASE II: To assess how well a drug works while continuing the safety assessments of Phase I. Larger groups (20 - 300), generally the first stage where patients are included in clinical trials. Often divided into Phases IIA and IIB. PHASE IIA: To find the correct dosage of a drug. PHASE IIB: To determine efficacy. Designed as a randomized trial where a select number of participants receive the drug and others receive a placebo, both with standard of care.

PHASE III: To assess definitively how effective the drug is in comparison to the “Gold Standard” treatment. A successful Phase III is required for FDA approval. Larger patient group (300 - 3,000) at multiple locations and often quite long in duration.

PHASE IV: Following FDA approval, these studies assess the long-term safety and efficacy of a drug in patients. Designed to detect any rare or long-term effects, continuously studying the safety of the drug

Research

Effort aims to help improve treatments in African-Americans LFM funding plays role in University of Minnesota research on biomarkers By Emily Gillespie, Ph.D., University of Minnesota Researchers who seek new biomarkers for human diseases have many goals. In the case of researchers of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), they are searching for biomarkers that could make the disease easier to diagnose, improve management of disease activity, predict when a flare is likely to occur, and help physicians decide which medications to use (or avoid) in a particular patient. And thanks to advances in genomic and proteomic technologies over the last 10 years, they have been successful in identifying many such candidate biomarkers. Many previous studies of biomarkers in lupus patients have focused on those of European descent. However, African-Americans are disproportionately affected with SLE. Not only is the incidence of SLE in African-American women higher than in Caucasian women, but African-Americans also tend to have more severe disease than white patients. It is critical to gain a better understanding of the biology that leads to the increased severity of lupus in AfricanAmerican women, so that we may have a chance to improve patient care and reveal new targets for therapy.

“These biomarkers will help point towards new therapeutic targets that may be particularly effective in African-Americans.” —Emily Gillespie

In 2011, the Gillespie Lab at the University of Minnesota submitted a request for $30,000 to the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota (LFM) to utilize current lupus clinic bio-repository samples to evaluate why African-Americans are disproportionately affected by SLE, with the goal of improving clinical tools and treatments. Specifically, the project was aimed at detecting patterns of gene expression in the blood that could be biomarkers for SLE in African-Americans.

gene expression patterns in patients followed over time, so that they could test whether the expression patterns changed as patients experienced flares of their lupus. The researchers identified one gene whose expression levels increased significantly as African-American patients transitioned from inactive disease into a lupus flare; this gene did not change in expression in Caucasian patients who experienced a flare. In addition, they found four genes, representing three different expression signatures, that exhibited significant changes in their expression levels in African-Americans during transitions from active disease into remission. Expression levels for these genes did not change significantly in Caucasian patients who transitioned from active disease to remission. Emily Gillespie, Ph.D. Through initial funding from LFM for this study and its subsequent findings, the lab established the foundation to work on uncovering additional biological clues to help understand the increased susceptibility to – and severity of – SLE in African-American patients. Ultimately, the ongoing study will provide a foundation for improving clinical management support for lupus patients and these biomarkers will help point toward new therapeutic targets that may be particularly effective in African-Americans. Emily Gillespie, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota. For more information about research currently being conducted in the Gillespie Lab, visit sites.google.com/a/umn.edu/gillespielab/

As a result of their efforts, the team discovered several gene expression patterns that appeared to be unique to AfricanAmericans with lupus, as well as patterns that are found in both African-American and Caucasian patients. They next studied these

Fellowship helped to inspire new generation of researchers For many college students, summer break means part-time jobs and weekends at the beach. But for a select few, chosen as Student Research Fellows by the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota (LFM), it means logging long hours behind a microscope helping to find a cure for lupus.

Subsequently, I learned more about the condition, how individuals experience it, and what organizations like LFM can do to support them.”

Just a gut feeling: LFM-funded research seeks causes of SLE The Lupus Foundation of Minnesota (LFM) funded its first student fellow in 1981 and its first clinical research project in 1995. In total, over 180 individual researchers have been supported by LFM in clinical efforts to improve treatments for lupus, and to find a cure. In awarding grants to clinical researchers, the foundation looks to support creative ideas and promising innovations to provide the initial funding required to gather more evidence, and the preliminary outcomes required, to pursue new approaches in lupus research. Sometimes this involves taking a chance, or going out on a limb, and sometimes, it’s just a gut feeling. While a number of studies have, and are, making great progress in identifying a number of genes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) they have not been able to completely solve the pathogenesis of the disease. This year, LFM funded just such a request from researcher Patrick Gaffney, M.D., of the Oklahoma Medical Research Found-

ation for a pilot study entitled “Intestinal Microflora and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.” Gaffney’s study proposed examining the gut microbiomes (or the community of microorganisms that live in the stomach and intestines) of patients with lupus to ascertain if there are variations between those with lupus and those with a healthy immune system. It is understood that microbes living in a person’s intestines can directly affect how the immune system works. These microbes can also, in fact, hold clues to the origins of autoimmune disease via their role in initiating or moderating autoimmunity. Recent studies show that the immune system can be regulated in a positive or negative manner merely by the type and population structure of these organisms. According to Gaffney, “Autoimmune diseases, including lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren’s syndrome, are conditions in which the immune system becomes overactive, and instead of attacking foreign invaders, turns against the body. In other words, the

diseases have a genetic component – a combination of mutations in the DNA that ‘prime the pump’ for disease – but they also require an environmental trigger.” In short, Gaffney’s pilot project will attempt to figure out if the trigger that sets off lupus might be hiding in the gut. By looking at the difference in gut bacteria between those with lupus and those with healthy immune systems, Gaffney hopes to have a better understanding of how SLE is caused, and perhaps identify a methodology by which it can be controlled. Evidence could lead to discovering an intervention treatment such as those that have successfully been developed to change the microbiome in patients suffering from the bacterial infection clostridium difficile to stop the disease before it starts or lessen its impact for those with lupus.
