ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07136389
What this study is testing
What is BCD-256?
BCD-256 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for systemic lupus erthematosus.
Also referred to as Anti-BDCA2.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical trial to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of BCD-256 alone and in combination with anti-CD20 therapy (divozilimab) as second- or later-line therapy in subjects with skin lesions due to mild to moderate systemic lupus erythematosus. The study consists of the first stage (cohorts 1-5) and the second stage (cohorts A - D).
