Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) 1509-0004 Study

Boehringer Ingelheim clinical trial for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)


This study will evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of oral BI 3000202 in adults with moderate to severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and to find the best dose for people with this condition.

Trial Details

Brief Summary: This study is open to adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 3000202 helps people with SLE. The study tests different doses of BI 3000202 and aims to find the best dose for people with this condition. Participants are put into 5 groups randomly, which means by chance. 4 groups get different doses of BI 3000202, and 1 group gets a placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 3000202 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets for 1 year. All participants also continue their regular treatment for SLE. Approximately 405 participants will be enrolled in the study.
