POETYK SLE-1 and SLE-2 Study
BMS is conducting a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a study drug in adult participants, ages 18-75 years old, with active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). This is a phase 3 study currently being conducted in 16 countries including the United States. The study will last over 1 year, about 60 weeks.
POETYK SLE-1 (IM011-246) and POETYK SLE-2 (IM011-247) are two identical SLE clinical trials evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational study medication in adults with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the study medication or a placebo. All participants will continue to take their usual lupus treatment while on study medication. The study medication (or placebo) is one tablet taken by mouth twice daily.
If you are eligible, you would only participate in one of these two studies. Remember: Taking part in a clinical trial is voluntary, and if you enroll, you can choose to leave the study at any time.
