The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of RO7303509 treatment in participants with systemic sclerosis (SSc) during a multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) portion of the trial. In the MAD phase, increasing doses of study drug will be tested sequentially. For each dose tested, the MAD stage will consist of a treatment period of 12 weeks followed by either a safety follow-up period of 13 weeks or continued treatment in an optional open-label safety extension (OSE) stage of 52 weeks to assess the long-term safety. All patients in the OSE stage will receive RO7303509 and no patient will...
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of mosunetuzumab in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of treatment with brepocitinib (TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor) in adults with dermatomyositis (DM). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of two dose levels of brepocitinib in comparison to placebo, as measured by differences in the Total Improvement Score (TIS). After 52 weeks of double-blind treatment, participants have the option to continue therapy in a 52 week open-label extension phase where all participants will receive brepocitinib.
This study's purpose is to measure the treatment response from efgartigimod PH20 SC compared with placebo in participants with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy (IIM). Participants with the IIM subtypes of dermatomyositis (DM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), or certain other subtypes of polymyositis (PM; including antisynthetase syndrome [ASyS]) will be included in the study. Treatment response will be measured by Total improvement score (TIS). Additional information can be found on https://myositis-study.com/.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, drug levels and drug effects on cells and organs of the body, after receiving multiple increasing doses of BMS-986326 via intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (SC) injection, in participants with different forms of lupus.
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called litifilimab (BIIB059) in participants with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The study will focus on participants who have active disease and are already taking standard of care medications. These may include antimalarials, steroids, and immunosuppressants. The main objective of the study is to learn about the effect litifilimab has on lowering the activity of the disease. The main question researchers want to answer is: - How many participants have an improvement in their symptoms after 52 weeks of treatment? Researchers will answer this and other questions...
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects, safety and how PF-06823859 is processed in adults with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) showing some skin symptoms. This study is seeking for participants who: - are adults of 18 years of age or older. - are confirmed to have CLE or SLE with involvement of the skin. - have a Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index activity (CLASI-A) score of at least 8. About 48 participants will be selected to receive active study medicine (PF-06823859) or placebo (an infusion without drug)....
The purpose of the study is to understand how the study medicine PF-06823859 works in people with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (DM and PM). These disorders cause inflammation that weakens the muscles that are important for movement and may also cause skin rash in people with DM. This study is seeking participants who: - Are 18 years of age or older. - Have active DM or active PM. - Are receiving a stable dose of 1 corticosteroid taken by mouth and/or 1 traditional immunosuppressant. - Note: Corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are medicines that help reduce ...
Hypothesis: SLE and RA increase risk of myocardial infarction (MI, heart attack). Immune reactants in the circulation of SLE patients downregulate cholesterol efflux proteins 27-hydroxylase and ABCA1 and upregulate scavenger receptor CD36, thus encouraging cholesterol accumulation. Adenosine A2A receptor agonist or statin treatment of cells exposed to SLE plasma (or immune complexes or cytokine-enriched plasma fractions from SLE patients) may ameliorate inflammatory properties of their plasma, lessening its atherogenic potency. Rationale: SLE and RA plasma contain components not present in significant levels in normal plasma that...
The study consists of 24-week double-blind trial to evaluate the non-inferiority of the efficacy and safety of pegloticase Q4W with MTX versus pegloticase Q2W with MTX, followed by a 24-week open-label extension of pegloticase Q4W with MTX, in participants with uncontrolled refractory gout. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of pegloticase 16 mg administered Q4W with MTX versus pegloticase 8 mg administered Q2W with MTX, on the response rate during Month 6, as measured by the sustained normalization of sUA to < 6 mg/dL for at least 80% of the time.
