Study Summary

This trial tests a new drug to treat psoriatic arthritis, compared to a placebo and a reference drug.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with active psoriatic arthritis, meeting specific joint count criteria and diagnosed per CASPAR guidelines. They must have had symptoms for at least 6 months, no rheumatoid factor or anti-CCP antibodies present, suitable for adalimumab treatment, and a history of psoriasis. Excluded are those with other chronic inflammatory conditions, certain types of severe arthritis, failure on anti-IL-17 or more than two biologic treatments for PsA, or allergies to trial drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness and safety of Sonelokimab given under the skin compared to a placebo in treating psoriatic arthritis. Adalimumab is used as an active reference drug to compare results against known outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site (like pain or swelling), increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression by both Sonelokimab and Adalimumab, allergic reactions if sensitive to ingredients in these medications.
