Summary

This trial is researching if a drug, PF-06823859, is safe and effective for adults with CLE or SLE and skin symptoms. 48 participants will receive active study medicine or placebo for 65 weeks of study.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with active CLE or SLE and skin symptoms, a CLASI-A score of at least 8, weighing between 40-130 kg can join. They must have confirmed lupus skin manifestations for at least 3 months and be willing to undergo study procedures like skin biopsies. Exclusions include recent serious cardiovascular events, severe infections, other autoimmune diseases that could affect results, certain cancers within the last five years.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing PF-06823859 against a placebo in adults with lupus affecting the skin. Participants will receive treatments via intravenous infusion. The goal is to see if PF-06823859 improves their condition compared to those who receive no drug (placebo). The study includes initial treatment, long-term extension period and follow-up totaling approximately 65 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed but generally may include reactions related to intravenous infusions such as discomfort at injection site or allergic reactions; potential impacts on organ function due to medication; fatigue; or exacerbation of existing conditions.
