Protean manifestations and the lack of clear understanding of aetiology, pathogenesis and disease subgroups make it difficult to develop and employ targeted therapeutic approaches. Community-wide access to a longitudinal, highly curated patient dataset with linked biospecimens and cellular\/molecular data is critical to enable advances and is now provided by Lupus Nexus (LNx). In this study, we describe the development of this unique resource with exemplary patient engagement.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n LNx, developed with guidance from over 100 partners, includes a prospective, longitudinal observational study, the Lupus Landmark Study (LLS), that will enrol up to 3500 adults living with lupus into four cohorts and will follow them over 5 years. The registry data comprises medical information, clinician-reported and patient-reported outcomes while the biorepository includes whole blood, urine, saliva, stool and tissue which are available to the research community for a broad range of analyses. Importantly, since all raw data from the biospecimen analyses will be deposited in LNx, it will amass a deep and comprehensive dataset over time. As of 25 March 2026, there are 705 enrolled participants (13.3% new onset, 27.4% extrarenal flare, 23.3% active lupus nephritis and 35% prevalent cases, with 37.6% black, 38% white and 12.6% Asian\/Pacific Islander patients). Over 15\u2009400 unique samples have been collected and specific analyses are underway.<\/jats:p>\n \n All data and samples from LNx are available via its Data Repository Exchange and Analytics platforM (\n DREAM<\/jats:ext-link>\n ). Importantly, a dedicated patient portal within DREAM enables participants to view their study data, connect with others and learn about the research emerging from projects using LNx.\n <\/jats:p>\n
