Trial overview
The available study is an interventional study, which means researchers give a study treatment and then measure the results.[1] It is investigating AZD1163 in adults with rheumatoid arthritis that is moderately to severely active.[1] The trial is Phase 2 and has a planned enrollment of 295 participants.[1]
Who can participate
This study is designed for adult participants with rheumatoid arthritis.[1] The title says the condition must be moderately to severely active, which means the disease is causing a meaningful level of symptoms and inflammation.[1] The trial data do not list more detailed entry rules, so the exact participation criteria are not provided here.[1]
Study design and treatment groups
The study compares AZD1163 with placebo, which is a look-alike treatment used for comparison.[1] The intervention is listed as AZD1163 given by subcutaneous use, meaning it is administered as an injection under the skin.[1] The brief summary says the goal is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of AZD1163 compared with placebo.[1]
What the study measures
The main endpoint is the change from baseline in Disease Activity Score-C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) at Week 12.[1] Baseline means the starting point before treatment begins.[1] DAS28-CRP is a score used to show how active rheumatoid arthritis is, so changes in this score help show whether the study treatment is helping.[1]
What the results may mean
This trial is focused on whether AZD1163 can improve symptoms and inflammation in people with active rheumatoid arthritis.[1] Because it is a Phase 2 study, the results may help researchers learn more about both benefit and safety before larger studies are done.[1] The study status is listed as Authorised, which means it has been approved to move forward in the trial process.[1]
