A Study Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of BGB-45035 Versus Placebo in Adults With Moderate to Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (NCT07100938) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Rheumatoid Arthritis, sponsored by BeiGene. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of BGB-45035 in adults with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) or biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs)/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Rheumatoid Arthritis 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.

Target enrollment of 90 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Rheumatoid 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: - Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria for at least 3 months prior to screening - Demonstrated an inadequate response to, or loss of response or intolerance to at least 1 conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARD) (Hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate \[MTX\], leflunomide, or sulfasalazine) or 1 biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD)/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (tsDMARD) treatment - Must be on stable dose of one of the following permitted therapies for ≥ 4 weeks prior to screening and during the study: methotrexate between 7.5 mg to 25 mg/week, hydroxychloroquine up to 400 mg/day, leflunomide up to 20 mg/day, or sulfasalazine between 1000 mg/day to 3000 mg/day Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Class IV RA based on American College of Rheumatology revised criteria for classification of functional status in rheumatoid arthritis - Patients with a history of cancer in the last 5 years before the Screening Visit, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin - Have failed more than 2 b/tsDMARDs (eg, excluded if have failed 2 bDMARDs and 1 tsDMARD) Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT07100938), the sponsor (BeiGene), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.
