简要总结

Lupus flares and other symptoms associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be caused by a deficiency of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). GL701 is an investigational new drug meant to enhance DHEA levels. This study is designed to evaluate both the safety and efficacy of GL701 in male lupus patients.
