Summary

This trial is testing a new drug treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in adults not adequately controlled on methotrexate. It will include 8 visits over 12 wks to assess safety & efficacy.

Who is the study for?
Adults with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis not well-controlled on methotrexate, who haven't used biologic or targeted synthetic DMARDs. Participants must have had RA symptoms for at least 6 months, be taking a stable dose of methotrexate for 12 weeks prior to the trial, and have a BMI between 18-35 kg/m^2.
What is being tested?
The study is testing SAR441566's effectiveness and safety in treating rheumatoid arthritis over a period of 12 weeks. It compares different doses of SAR441566 against a placebo while all participants continue their regular methotrexate therapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed here but typically include reactions at the injection site, increased risk of infection, headaches, nausea, and potential abnormal blood tests reflecting liver or kidney issues.
