About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if CIT-013 works to treat rheumatoid arthritis in adults. It will also learn about the safety of CIT-013. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does CIT-013 lower the disease activity of RA patients? What medical problems do participants have when receiving CIT-013? Researchers will compare CIT-013 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if CIT-013 works to treat the symptoms of RA.

Participants will:

Take receive CIT-013 or placebo every other week for 6 weeks and 50 mg CIT-013 for 6 weeks Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests Keep monitor their symptoms during this period

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female patients with RA according to the 2010 classification criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) ≥ 3 months prior to screening

Stable on a conventional synthetic disease modifying antirheumatic drug for ≥ 4 weeks (csDMARD). This drug must have been used for ≥ 3 months.

Disqualifiers

High clinical activity or disease severity requiring the immediate start of a biological DMARD (bDMARD) or targeted synthetic DMARD (tsDMARD).

Contra-indication for CIT-013
