Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibitor

Study to Assess Safety and Effectiveness of Branebrutinib Treatment in Participants With Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or Primary Sjögren's Syndrome, or Branebrutinib Treatment Followed by Open-label Abatacept Treatment in Study Participants With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis

Phase 2
Waitlist Available
Research Sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb

Summary

This trial is testing branebrutinib, a drug that reduces inflammation, in people with active systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS). For those with active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the trial will also test if adding abatacept, which prevents immune attacks on the body, provides additional benefits. The goal is to find safer and more effective treatments for these autoimmune diseases.
