Tests treatment safety and results for Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE)
Official title A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2a Study With an Open-Label Extension Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of VENT-03 in Adult Participants With Active Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus With or Without Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07260877
What this study is testing
What is VENT-03?
VENT-03 is an investigational medicine, given as a monthly pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for cutaneous lupus erythematosus (cle).
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 is to learn if VENT-03 works to treat patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) who may or may not have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Another goal is to learn about the safety of VENT-03 and how it is processed by the body.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
