A Study to Investigate Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of ABY-035 in Patients With Active Psoriatic Arthritis

Study Purpose

This is a Phase II, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dosefinding trial in parallel-groups with primary endpoint at Week 16 (visit V9) to investigate the efficacy, tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of ABY-035 in adult patients with PsA.

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.

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.

Additional Details

The ABY-035 drug molecule is a selective inhibitor of interleukin 17A (IL-17A) that binds with high affinity and with a potency corresponding to clinically tested monoclonal antibodies in terms of blocking the biological activity of IL-17A. ABY-035 has the potential to be an efficacious treatment for a variety of IL-17A-related diseases, including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
