SELECT - PsA 1 Trial Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of two doses of a new drug, upadacitinib, to a placebo and to the drug adalimumab, in people with psoriatic arthritis who have not responded well to other treatments. The trial will also look at the long-term safety and effectiveness of upadacitinib.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with active psoriatic arthritis who haven't responded well to treatments like methotrexate or sulfasalazine. They should have at least 3 tender and swollen joints, a history of plaque psoriasis, and higher than normal levels of inflammation markers. Those with other types of inflammatory joint diseases or previous JAK inhibitor use can't participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two doses of Upadacitinib against a placebo and Adalimumab in those with moderate to severe psoriatic arthritis unresponsive to non-biologic DMARDs. It aims to assess effectiveness in symptom relief and preventing joint damage over time.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Upadacitinib may cause side effects such as infections, liver issues, blood clots, cholesterol changes, gastrointestinal perforations among others. Adalimumab's side effects include injection site reactions, headaches, rash and serious infections.
