Psoriatic arthritis PsA is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the joints and skin in people with psoriasis. This study aims to evaluate how well zasocitinib TAK-279 works in adults with active PsA who have not previously been treated with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The trial is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study comparing zasocitinib with an active comparator and placebo. Participants will be assigned to one of four groups zasocitinib Dose A once daily, zasocitinib Dose B once daily, an active comparator capsule twice daily, or placebo once daily for 16 weeks followed by switching to zasocitinib Dose A or B up to 52 weeks. Treatments are taken orally as tablets or capsules over a period of up to 60 weeks. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including joint counts, skin evaluations, and various disease activity measurements such as ACR20 and PASI-75 responses. Researchers will monitor changes from baseline in functional and quality of life scores, as well as safety and tolerability. Participants will be involved in visits throughout the treatment period to evaluate the effects and collect data on the disease and treatment responses.

Researchers are evaluating targeted therapies to treat adults with moderately to severely active Rheumatoid Arthritis RA, a chronic inflammatory condition causing joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function. This Phase 2 study involves three substudies focusing on different drug treatments to assess their effectiveness and safety for participants who have not responded to one or two prior biologic or targeted synthetic DMARD therapies. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments lutikizumab alone, ravagalimab alone, a combination of lutikizumab and ravagalimab, or matching placebos. These drugs are given by subcutaneous injection. The study involves regular visits at hospitals or clinics where participants receive the assigned treatment and are monitored closely. The treatment period and detailed dosing schedules are part of the studys design. During the trial, participants will undergo medical assessments, blood tests, and questionnaires to monitor treatment effects, side effects, and disease activity. The main outcomes measured include the percentage of participants achieving a 50% improvement according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria by Week 12 and the number of adverse events up to approximately Week 22. Participants will attend regular visits for evaluations throughout the study period, which is expected to complete by November 2027.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of icotrokinra JNJ-77242113 compared to a placebo in adults with active psoriatic arthritis PsA, including those who have and have not previously used biologic treatments. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra reduces the signs and symptoms of PsA, focusing on improvements measured by the American College of Rheumatology ACR 20 response at Week 16. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of icotrokinra or a matching placebo. Those initially receiving placebo will switch to one of the icotrokinra doses at Week 16. Participants who continue without discontinuing the study drug are eligible to enter a long-term extension phase, where they keep receiving their assigned icotrokinra dose. The treatment period involves regular monitoring and assessment of psoriatic arthritis symptoms. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments, including evaluations of joint swelling and tenderness, skin psoriasis severity, fatigue, physical function, and quality of life. Laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein levels will be measured to monitor inflammation. Researchers will track responses using validated scales like the Psoriatic Area and Severity Index PASI and Investigator Global Assessment IGA. The total duration includes treatment and follow-up visits up to Week 16, with options for extended treatment in the long-term extension phase.

Researchers are studying the drug JNJ-88545223 to see how well it works compared with a placebo in adults who have active psoriatic arthritis PsA. This study aims to determine if JNJ-88545223 can reduce the signs and symptoms of PsA and improve the health of joints and skin. The trial is a randomized, double-blind phase 2b study designed to evaluate different doses of the drug. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments from Week 0 to Week 16 placebo, or one of three doses of JNJ-88545223. Each group will receive their assigned treatment under blinded conditions to compare the effects. The study focuses on evaluating the efficacy and safety of these doses over the 16-week treatment period. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to measure treatment effects, including the American College of Rheumatology ACR 50 response at Week 16 as the primary outcome. Additional evaluations include skin severity indexes PASI responses, physical function questionnaires, and quality of life surveys. Safety and symptoms will be monitored throughout the trial, which lasts approximately 16 weeks for each participant.

Researchers are evaluating bimekizumab administered intravenously compared to subcutaneous injection in adults with active psoriatic arthritis or active axial spondyloarthritis. The study aims to show that the intravenous method is not less effective than the subcutaneous method by assessing how the drug moves in the body over time. This is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study focused on treatment. Participants will receive one of three dosing regimens of bimekizumab during a pharmacokinetics lead-in phase and continue with the same assigned regimen during the treatment period. The dosing regimens include intravenous and subcutaneous administration of bimekizumab at specified times. Subjects are randomized into one of two experimental arms reflecting different intravenous regimens or a third arm receiving the subcutaneous regimen. During the study, participants will be monitored for steady-state trough concentration of the drug at week 16. Safety is assessed by tracking treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and any events leading to withdrawal from the study through week 29. The study duration extends to the end of safety follow-up, with regular assessments to evaluate drug levels and participant health under medical supervision.

This study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of pelacarsen TQJ230 in people with established cardiovascular disease and elevated Lipoproteina who completed a previous related study. It is an open-label extension trial, meaning all participants receive the study drug without placebo comparison. The trial is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and focuses on continued treatment after the completion of the parent study. Participants receive monthly injections of pelacarsen 80 mg subcutaneously for up to 36 months during this extension phase. This phase is designed to provide access to the study drug after the initial trial and to monitor participants closely. The study does not involve randomization or blinding, and all enrolled participants receive the active drug. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for adverse events and cardiovascular events, as well as measuring Lipoproteina levels at baseline and several time points over 36 months. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked throughout the treatment period. The total duration of participation corresponds to the length of the extension phase, up to three years.

Researchers are evaluating KBP-336, a drug designed to treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis in people who are also living with obesity. This Phase 2 clinical trial aims to find out if KBP-336 can reduce pain and body weight compared to a placebo, while also assessing its effects on quality of life, metabolism, and safety. The study is sponsored by KeyBioscience AG and focuses on adults aged 45 years and older with diagnosed osteoarthritis of the knee and obesity. Participants in this study will receive weekly subcutaneous injections of KBP-336 or a placebo for six months. The study compares multiple dosages of KBP-336 against placebo, with participants visiting the clinic every two weeks for checkups and tests. Throughout the trial, participants will maintain a diary recording their symptoms and use of any additional pain medications allowed as rescue treatment. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed using several tools, including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index WOMAC for pain, stiffness, and function, as well as quality of life questionnaires AQol 8D. Researchers will monitor changes in body weight, pain levels, body composition, bone density, and medication use over 183 days. Safety and well-being will be closely observed through physical exams, vital signs, ECGs, and lab tests, with the total trial duration lasting about six months for each participant.

Researchers are evaluating targeted therapies for adult participants with active psoriatic arthritis, a condition where the immune system attacks healthy cells causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.
