1.5 million people in the USA have some form of lupus.

Further confounding such a study would be that women are apparently more often affected by lupus than men.
Also, the most critical need is for those who have the most serious symptoms. I think I read that "cytokine storm" might describe the over-reaction of the immune system that can lead to death. The experience of the lupus population might not indicate an important curative effect for those most in medical need.
