A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of TAK-079 in Combination With Standard Background Therapy in Participants With Moderate to Severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TAK-079 in comparison with matching placebo, administered once every 3 weeks over a 12-week dosing period in participants with active SLE who are receiving stable background therapy for SLE.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 75 Years
Gender	All

The participant is positive for anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) antibodies and/or anti-extractable nuclear antigens (ENA) antibodies.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The participant had an opportunistic infection less than or equal to (<=)12 weeks before initial study dosing or is currently undergoing treatment for a chronic opportunistic infection, such as tuberculosis (TB), pneumocystis pneumonia, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, herpes zoster, or atypical mycobacteria. 2. The participant currently has, or recently had, an acute or chronic infection requiring one or more of the following interventions: Hospitalization <=30 days before the screening visit.

- Administered parenteral (IV or intramuscular) antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, or antiparasitic agents <=30 days before the screening visit.

3. The participant has drug-induced SLE or any other rheumatologic or autoimmune disease (excluding secondary Sjögren syndrome or mixed connective tissue disease).

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT03724916
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 1

Additional Details

TAK-079 is being tested in a study population with moderate to severe SLE. This study will evaluate the safety and biologic activity of TAK-079 or matching placebo in combination with stable SLE background therapy. The study will enroll approximately 24 participants across 3 sequentially enrolling cohorts. Each cohort will enroll 8 participants, where 6 participants will be assigned to TAK-079 injection, and 2 participants will be assigned to Placebo. Participants will receive TAK-079 or matching placebo in combination with principal investigator directed background therapy for SLE. This multi-center trial will be conducted in the United States. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and will be followed up for the safety assessment for the additional 12 weeks up to Week 24 after receiving their last dose of study drug. Based on the clinical assessments, participants may complete or may advance to long-term safety follow up period for an additional 12-week safety monitoring period up to Week 36.
