Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of SPY072 compared to a placebo in adults aged 18 years and older who have moderately to severely active rheumatic diseases. This Phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled basket study includes participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have not responded adequately to standard treatments. Participants are assigned to receive either SPY072 or a matching placebo. The study includes separate substudies for each condition: RA participants must have active disease despite treatment with conventional or biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs; axSpA participants must have active disease despite use of NSAIDs or biologic therapies; PsA participants must have active disease despite NSAIDs, conventional or biologic therapies. Treatments are given during the study period, and participants are monitored for changes in disease activity specific to their condition. During the study, participants undergo assessments including joint counts, disease activity scores, and laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein levels. Researchers measure changes in disease activity scores at 12 or 16 weeks depending on the condition, and evaluate the proportion of PsA participants achieving a clinical response. Safety and efficacy are monitored throughout, with the total participation duration aligned with these outcome measures.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-lasting inflammatory condition that affects the joints and skin in people with psoriasis (PsO). This research aims to evaluate how well the drug zasocitinib (TAK-279) works in adults with active PsA who have not previously used biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The study is a Phase 3 clinical trial designed to compare zasocitinib against an active comparator and placebo in this patient group. Participants will receive treatment with either zasocitinib tablets, an active comparator capsule, or a matching placebo. The study includes multiple groups to assess the effects of these treatments. Participants will be followed and treated for up to 60 weeks during the study period. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure the percentage achieving improvement according to the American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response at 16 weeks. Researchers will monitor symptoms, joint and skin involvement, and overall safety throughout the trial. Participants will have regular visits for evaluations and will be observed for treatment effects and any side effects over the full course of the study.

Researchers are investigating targeted therapies to treat adults with moderately to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory disease that causes pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of joint function. This Phase 2 study includes three substudies that evaluate different treatments for participants who have not responded well to one or two prior biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (tsDMARD) therapies. The study aims to assess both the effectiveness and safety of these therapies. The study tests three treatment approaches: lutikizumab alone, ravagalimab alone, and a combination of lutikizumab and ravagalimab, each compared against placebo. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection. About 180 participants will be enrolled across approximately 65 sites worldwide. Participants must be on a stable dose of methotrexate to join the study. The study requires regular visits to hospitals or clinics for treatment and monitoring. During the study, participants will undergo medical assessments, blood tests, and questionnaires to monitor treatment effects and side effects. The main outcomes measured include the percentage of participants achieving a 50% improvement in Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms by week 12 and the number of participants experiencing adverse events up to about week 22. Participants may have a higher treatment burden than usual care due to the study procedures and visits.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of icotrokinra (JNJ-77242113) compared to a placebo in adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This study includes both participants who have previously used biologic treatments and those who have not. The goal is to assess how well the drug reduces the signs and symptoms of PsA by the 16th week of treatment. This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to provide reliable evidence on the drug's impact on this condition. Participants will receive either icotrokinra or a placebo. The treatments will be administered according to the study protocol, but specific dosing details are not provided. Participants will be monitored over 16 weeks to evaluate their response to the treatment, focusing on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response, which measures improvement in disease activity. The study compares the active drug against placebo to determine its efficacy and safety in this patient group. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to monitor their psoriatic arthritis symptoms, including joint swelling and tenderness, as well as blood tests to measure inflammation markers like C-reactive protein. Female participants who can become pregnant will have pregnancy tests before and during the study to ensure safety. Researchers will collect data on disease activity and safety throughout the study period to understand the treatment's effects. Total participation time and additional follow-up details are not specified.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of pelacarsen (TQJ230) in adults with established cardiovascular disease and elevated Lipoprotein(a) who have completed the parent trial CTQJ230A12301. The study is an open-label extension following the phase 3 parent study, providing participants continued access to pelacarsen after the initial trial. Participants will receive pelacarsen 80 mg by subcutaneous injection once a month during this open-label extension. The study is single-arm and multicenter, focusing on continued treatment with pelacarsen for up to 36 months after completion of the parent study. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess safety and tolerability, with particular attention to adverse events occurring up to 36 months. Researchers will collect data on health status throughout this period to understand the long-term effects of pelacarsen in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating KBP-336, a drug designed for weekly injection, to see if it can reduce knee pain in people with osteoarthritis who are also obese. This study aims to find out if KBP-336 lowers knee pain and body weight compared to a placebo. It also explores the effects of KBP-336 on quality of life, metabolism, and safety in this group. Participants will receive either KBP-336 or a placebo once a week for six months. The trial includes regular visits every two weeks for checkups and tests. Participants are asked to keep a diary to record their symptoms and any additional pain medication they use. Throughout the study, researchers will track changes in body weight and knee pain using a standardized pain scale over 183 days. Safety and other health parameters will be monitored through clinic visits and participant diaries. The total study duration for each participant is approximately six months.

Psoriatic arthritis is a condition where the immune system attacks healthy cells causing joint pain, swelling, and stiffness that can worsen and improve over time. The trial is a Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of targeted therapies in adults with active psoriatic arthritis, focusing on changes in disease symptoms. The therapies studied are risankizumab and lutikizumab, and the study involves multiple substudies to assess these treatments.
