What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

Phase 1 is the earliest stage of human testing — safety and dosage are the primary focus. Visits are frequent and medical supervision is intensive. You will be among the first people to receive this treatment.

This trial targets 144 participants in total. It began in 2024-08-19 with a primary completion date of 2027-03-31.

Brief Summary

This Phase 1b basket trial will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of RAY121, a inhibitor of classical complement pathway, after multiple dose administration in patients with immunological diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), bullous pemphigoid (BP), Behçet's Syndrome (BS), dermatomyositis (DM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
