Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of JBT-101 in adult subjects with skin-predominant, dermatomyositis (DM) that is refractory to at least 3 months treatment with hydroxychloroquine.

Read the detailed description

Part A: An interventional, double-blind, randomized, placebo-control design will be used to test JBT-101 in about 22 eligible male or female subjects ≥ 18 and ≤ 70 years of age with moderate-to-severe active skin-predominant dermatomyositis.

Part B: A one-year open-label design to test JBT-101 in subjects who completed Part A without permanent discontinuation of study product because of safety or tolerability reasons.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria (Part A):

  • CDASI activity score ≥ 14;
  • No difficulty with lifting or walking, and no more than 1.5 x the of creatine phosphokinase or aldolase;
  • Failed at least 3 months treatment with hydroxychloroquine;
  • Stable treatment for dermatomyositis for at least 28 days before Visit 1 (Day 1).

Inclusion Criteria (Part B):

  • Completion of dosing in Part A without permanent discontinuation of study product because of safety or tolerability reasons

Exclusion Criteria (Part A and B):

  • Significant diseases or conditions other than DM that may influence response to the study product or safety;
  • Any one of the following values for laboratory tests at Screening:

    1. A positive pregnancy test (or at Visit 1);
    2. \< 10 g/dL;
    3. Neutrophils \< 1.0 x 10\^9/L;
    4. \< 75 x 10\^9/L;
    5. \< 50 ml/min according to modified Cockcroft-Gault equation;
    6. , alanine aminotransferase, or alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x upper normal limit;
    7. Total ≥ 1.5 x upper limit of normal.
  • Any other condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, is and may put the subject at greater safety risk, influence response to study product, or interfere with study assessments.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) From Baseline in Part A.

    The CDASI is a validated outcome measure that systematically quantifies cutaneous DM disease activity, In the CDASI, DM skin disease activity is scored from 0 to 100 based on the physician's evaluation of erythema, scale, and erosion or ulceration at 15 anatomic locations as well as alopecia, Gottron's sign or papules on the hands, and periungual changes. A 5-point or greater decrease in the CDASI activity score indicates clinically relevant improvement based on statistical analysis using a receiver operating characteristic curve to maximize sensitivity and specificity

    Time frame: Part A: 84-day treatment period (Change from the Baseline CDSAI score at Day 84)

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Number of participants with treatment emergent adverse events were assessed as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Time frame: Part A: to Day 84

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Patient-reported Outcomes From Baseline at 84 Days for Part A

    LS mean (SE) change from baseline to Week 6 (Day 84) for lenabasum vs. placebo using a mixed model repeated measures analysis The CDASI is a validated outcome measure that systematically quantifies cutaneous DM disease activity and damage, In the CDASI, the Damage Score is scored from 0 to 32 based on the physician's evaluation of poikiloderma and calcinosis. 0 representing no damage and 32 representing the greatest level of damage.

    Time frame: Part A: 84-day treatment period

The record gives a start of Jun 2015, a primary completion of Aug 2017 and a completion of Jan 2021. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Jan 2023, 5 years 5 months after primary completion. A results delay was requested in Jan 2019.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 19, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
