Continuation Study of Zasocitinib in Adults With Psoriatic Arthritis

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Long-Term Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Zasocitinib (TAK-279) in Subjects With Active Psoriatic Arthritis Who Are Either Biologic DMARD-Naïve or Biologic DMARD-Experienced, Including Those With Inadequate Response to Biologic DMARDs

Continuation Study of Zasocitinib in Adults With Psoriatic Arthritis (NCT07286058) is a Phase 3 interventional studying Psoriatic Arthritis, sponsored by Takeda. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-term inflammatory disease that affects the joints and skin. The purpose of this study is to check how safe zasocitinib is, how well it is tolerated and how well it works in adults with PsA over a longer period of time. Adults who completed the 1-year (52-week) treatment period in one of the parent studies (TAK-279-PsA-3001 \[NCT06671483\] or TAK-279-PsA-3002 \[NCT06671496\]) may be able to join this continuation study (also called long-term extension or LTE study). All participants in this continuation study, will receive zasocitinib (lower or higher dose), once a day (QD). Each participant can be in this study for approximately 2 years (108 weeks). This includes a treatment period of up to 2 years (104 weeks) and a 1-month (4-week) follow-up period to monitor a participant's health.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Psoriatic Arthritis, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory 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.

A target enrollment of 1,182 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. The participant is aged 18 years or older at the time of signing the willing to sign a consent form form (ICF). In South Korea, the age requirement for adult participants is \>=19 years of age. 2. The participant has completed the 52-week treatment period in one of the parent studies (TAK-279-PsA-3001 or TAK-279-PsA-3002) independent of treatment assignment, and without meeting the criteria for permanent discontinuation of trial intervention defined in the parent studies. 3. The participant must be deemed by the investigator to benefit from continued or newly initiated (that is, for participants randomized to active comparator in parent study TAK-279-PsA-3001) zasocitinib therapy. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Any participant who is deemed by the investigator to be not benefiting from the trial intervention based upon lack of improvement or worsening of their symptoms in the respective parent study. 2. Any participant who met the criteria for permanent discontinuation of trial intervention defined in the parent studies (TAK-279-PsA-3001 or TAK-279-PsA-3002). 3. The participant has developed any disease(s) that might confound the evaluations of benefit of zasocitinib therapy since enrollment in the respective parent study, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis (this does not include a primary diagnosis of PsA with spondylitis), systemic lupus erythematosus, Lyme disease, gout, or fibromyalgia. 4. The participant has developed evidence of a concomitant comorbid skin condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study assessments, such as evidence of non-plaque PsO (erythrodermic, pustular, predominately guttate PsO, inverse, or drug-induced PsO). Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
