A Study to Investigate Effectiveness of Tirzepatide Following Initiation of Ixekizumab in Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis and Overweight or Obesity in Clinical Practice (TOGETHER AMPLIFY-PsA) (NCT06864026) is a Phase 4 interventional studying Psoriatic Arthritis and Overweight or Obesity, sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The main purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of adding tirzepatide to ixekizumab therapy in standard clinical practice in participants with moderate-to-severe PsA and obesity or overweight with at least 1 weight-related comorbidity. The study will last up to 12 months.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment has been approved by the FDA. They monitor long-term safety, real-world effectiveness, and any rare side effects that only emerge in larger populations over longer periods. Phase 4 results sometimes lead to label changes, additional warnings, or — rarely — withdrawal of 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.

Target enrollment of 200 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Psoriatic Arthritis subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Have a diagnosis of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) as defined by a rheumatologist or other healthcare professional (HCP) experienced in treating PsA. - Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m²) or greater (obesity) or 27 kg/m2 to \<30 kg/m² (overweight) in the presence of at least 1 weight-related comorbid condition (hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease). - Who have been treated with ixekizumab for approximately 3 months (±1 month) prior to decision to add tirzepatide. - Must be able to initiate tirzepatide (Day 0) within 30 days of treatment decision (baseline or screening). Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Have currently received ixekizumab for more than 4 months or less than 2 months. - Had any exposure to tirzepatide or other glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (for example, dulaglutide, liraglutide, or semaglutide). - Are currently enrolled in any other clinical study. - Have a known hypersensitivity to any component of tirzepatide. - Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer. - Have multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. - Have type 1 diabetes mellitus. - Have a history of chronic or acute pancreatitis at any time before screening. - Have a history of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, diabetic maculopathy, or nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy that requires acute treatment. - Have a history of ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar state/coma. - Have a history of severe hypoglycemia unawareness within the 6 months before screening. - Have a history of severe gastrointestinal complications, including gastroparesis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia, chronic nausea/vomiting. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
