Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Are ≥17.5 months of age (or are ≥6 months of age with Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome [AGS]). Participants younger than 17.5 months of age can be considered for enrollment after discussion with the sponsor.
  • Have systemic signs and symptoms of inflammation as manifested by the presence of two or more of the following symptoms: rash, fever, musculoskeletal pain, headache, fatigue, weakness, respiratory/breathing symptoms, or ulcers/ischemic lesions.
  • Have an average daily Diary Score of ≥0.5 (CANDLE Diary; used also for CANDLE-related conditions, AGS Diary) or ≥1.0 (SAVI) or ≥1.0 exclusive of headache and fever symptoms (JDM Diary) assessed over at least 2 weeks prior to entry, if available. Otherwise, participants can complete the diary after study consent is signed during the screening period and meet the inclusion criteria for enrollment into the study.
  • Are ≥8.5 kilogram (kg) in body weight. Participants weighing less than 8.5 kg can be considered for enrollment after discussion with the sponsor.
  • Have been previously treated with at least 1 biologic therapy and, in the opinion of the investigator, did not respond or are no longer responding to therapy. If the participant has been diagnosed with CANDLE, Nakajo-Nishimura Syndrome (NNS), SAVI, AGS, or an equivalent syndrome, the need for previous biologic therapy is not required.
  • Require treatment with oral (≥0.15 milligrams per kilogram per day [mg/kg/d] of prednisone or its equivalent) for control of systemic signs and symptoms of their chronic inflammatory disease for at least 2 weeks prior to study entry, or in the opinion of the investigator, have failed an adequate course of steroids. Treatment with or failure of treatment with steroids is not required for participants with AGS or a confirmed genetic diagnosis of CANDLE or SAVI.
  • Have had previous documented elevations in acute-phase reactants (for example, high sensitivity C-reactive protein) considered to be the result of the inflammatory disease (participants with CANDLE or CANDLE-related conditions only).
  • Have the ability to provide or have legal representative who is willing and able to provide written informed consent, provided that assent is obtained from participants at an age-appropriate level.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have received an biologic agent/monoclonal antibody within 4 half-lives prior to entry, for example, anakinra (4 half-lives=18 hours); etanercept (4 half-lives=18 days); infliximab; adalimumab (4 half-lives=36 days); use of intravenous immune globulin (IVIg) is permitted.
  • Are pregnant or nursing at the time of entry.
  • Are females of (women >12 or who have had at least 1 menstrual period regardless of age) who are sexually active and who do not agree to use 2 forms of highly effective methods of or remain abstinent during the study and for at least 28 days following the last dose of product.
  • Are sexually active males who do not agree to use 2 forms of highly effective birth control with female partners of childbearing potential or remain abstinent during the study and for at least 28 days following the last dose of investigational product.
  • Have had symptomatic herpes zoster infection within 12 weeks prior to entry or during the screening period.
  • Have a history of disseminated/complicated herpes zoster (for example, multidermatomal involvement, ophthalmic zoster, central nervous system [CNS] involvement, postherpetic neuralgia).
  • Have evidence of active infection, at the time of entry or during the screening period, that in the opinion of the investigator, would pose an unacceptable risk for participating in the study.
  • Have a history of active (HBV), (HCV), or (HIV).
  • Have documented high titer autoantibodies suggestive clinically of diseases other than severe JDM.
  • Are immunocompromised and, in the opinion of the investigator, are at an unacceptable risk for participating in the study.
  • Have had a serious systemic or local infection (including an infectious mononucleosis-like illness or herpes zoster) within 12 weeks prior to entry or during the screening period.
  • Have been exposed to a within 12 weeks prior to entry or are expected to need/receive a live vaccine (including herpes zoster vaccination) during the course of the study.

Note: Investigators should review the vaccination status of the participants and follow the local guidelines for vaccination with nonlive vaccines intended to prevent infectious disease prior to entering participants into the study.

  • Have had household contact with a person with active tuberculosis (TB) and did not receive appropriate and documented prophylaxis for TB.
  • Have a serious and/or unstable illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, poses an unacceptable risk for the participant's participation in the study.
  • Have an estimated (eGFR) based on the most recent available serum creatinine of \<40 milliliters/minute/1.73 per square meter.
  • Have or have had a history of lymphoproliferative disease; or signs or symptoms suggestive of possible lymphoproliferative disease, or active primary or recurrent malignant disease; or been in remission from for \<5 years.

Note: Participants with resolved cervical dysplasia, or no more than 3 successfully treated basal-cell carcinoma of the skin, may participate in this study.

  • Have a history of chronic alcohol abuse or intravenous (IV) drug abuse within the 2 years prior to entry.
  • Are unable or unwilling to make themselves available for the duration of the study and/or are unwilling to follow study restrictions/procedures.
  • Are currently enrolled in, or discontinued within the last 30 days from a clinical trial involving an investigational product or non-approved use of a drug or device (other than the investigational product used in this study), or concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
