The purpose of this study is to measure the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of AZD5492 administered subcutaneously in adult participants with SLE or IIM. Study details include: • The study duration will be a minimum of 180 days in addition to the screening period. Additional follow-up visits may be required up to 12 months from study start. * Depending on the study part they are assigned to, participants will be administered AZD5492 once (Part 1) or twice (Part 2). * Study visits will occur at: Screening, Days 1-4, 8, 15, 22, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 in Part 1, Screening, Days 1-4, 8-11, 15, 22, 29, 43, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 in Part 2.

Dazukibart for Myositis

Beckley, West Virginia
The purpose of this study is to understand how the study medicine, dazukibart, works in people with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (dermatomyositis \[DM\] or polymyositis \[PM\]). Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a group of disorders that show inflammation of the muscles used for movement. There are several types of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, including DM and PM. DM and PM involve weakness of the muscles closest to the center of the body, such as the muscles of the hips, thighs, upper arms, and neck. People with these forms of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies may find it difficult to climb stairs, get up from a seated position, or lift items above their head. People with DM can also have a skin rash. These disorders negatively impact the quality of life and functioning of patients. In addition to the above, these disorders can affect how the lungs and heart work. This study is seeking participants who took part in a DM and PM study with dazukibart before. Some participants will receive study medicine, and some participants will not receive study medicine and only complete safety follow-up. The study medicine will be given as an intravenous (IV) infusion (directly into the veins). This takes about 1 hour, every 4 weeks, from Day 1 to Week 48 (about 12 months) of the study. This will be followed by a safety follow-up period that lasts about 4 months after the last infusion. Participants who receive study medicine will have about 18 study visits at the site over about 16 months. There will also be participants enrolled in this study who will not receive study medicine. Such participants will only take part in safety follow-up visits as they do not want to or are not eligible to receive dazukibart. These participants will not receive study medicine and will have up to 4 study visits at the site every 4 weeks to complete safety follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Polymyositis clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Polymyositis clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Polymyositis trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Polymyositis is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Polymyositis medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Polymyositis clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added AZD5492 for Lupus and Myositis, CTX112 for Lupus and CNTY-101 for Lupus to the Power online platform.
