About This Trial

This study was conducted in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Genakumab injection in the treatment of CTD-ILD including Rheumatoid Arthritis associated Interstitial Lung Disease (RA-ILD) and Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD)

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Systemic Sclerosis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 30 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
