MARASLE Trial Summary

This trial looks at the safety & tolerability of a drug (GS-0272) for RA & SLE patients, & how it affects their bodies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). RA patients must have been diagnosed at least 3 months ago and on stable csDMARDs, not b/tsDMARDs. SLE patients need a diagnosis from at least 24 weeks prior and stable nonbiologic treatments. Those with certain infections or highly active SLE are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests GS-0272's safety and how the body processes it after multiple doses in RA and SLE patients. Participants will receive either GS-0272 or a placebo through subcutaneous injections to compare effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of GS-0272 aren't listed, common ones for arthritis medications include injection site reactions, upper respiratory infections, headaches, nausea, and potential increases in liver enzymes.

MARASLE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Part B: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Cohort: GS-0272 or PlaceboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part B will include participants with SLE. Part B will have only 1 cohort (Cohort 4). Participants in Cohort 4 will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either GS-0272 or placebo for 12 weeks.
Group II: Part A: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Cohorts: GS-0272 or PlaceboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part A will include participants with RA. Part A will have 3 cohorts. Each cohort in Part A will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either ascending doses of GS-0272 or placebo for 12 weeks. Dosing will begin in Cohort 1. Cohorts 2 and 3 will be initiated upon review of blinded safety data from the preceding cohort.
