Study Purpose

 

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.
