Q1: Have you ever had a conversation with your care team about participating in research or donating an extra tube of blood? If you don’t mind sharing, please tell the community about that experience. #LupusChat
We’ll be sharing more details soon about an upcoming #LupusChat collaboration with @PSGdonors involving donations to biobanks for future diagnostic research. Stay tuned!
@Lupus_Chat Thank you so much for letting us join #lupuschat ! Your time, efforts, samples and overall commitment to participating in research is what will have the biggest impact to advance Lupus diagnostics (Kate) #lupuschat
A special Thank You to @PSGDonors for joining the #LupusChat community today to discuss sample donation for research purposes. We appreciate your insights.
@Lupus_Chat It’s critical that researchers have a perpetual source of samples to continue to improve Lupus and Rheumatic disease diagnostics. We’re thankful to those who change the future by participating in research. #LupusChat
@Xtel007 Yes! And in addition to samples, we are sometimes asked to collect additional medical information such as treatments, symptoms, etc. (Kate) #lupuschat
@TiffanyAndLupus It's true. Becuase samples are de-identified and Biobanks are often not made aware of the research use of all samples, we cannot disclose the exact details of each study. (Kate) #lupuschat
@Lupus_Chat A6 Donor samples will be kept at Plasma Services Group. They could be used to support how clinical trials are created or to discover new & emerging antibodies by research & development departments. They can also be used to ensure that a test kit is working properly. #LupusChat
@Lupus_Chat A6 All PSG Biobank samples are collected for current and future research use. This means that a donor’s sample will remain in our Biobank to support active diagnostic research as well as future studies. #LupusChat
