Sponsor's own description
This is a parallel group, Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, 5-arm, international, multicenter, 12-week proof of concept, dose finding study. It is designed to assess efficacy and safety of treatment with SAR441566 for 12 weeks. It will be conducted in male and female adult participants with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) not adequately controlled on methotrexate (MTX) and biologic/targeted synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) naive. Study treatment includes investigational medicinal product (IMP: SAR441566 or placebo) added-on to a background therapy of MTX. Study details include a run-in period (4 to 6 weeks) before randomization to determine eligibility, a treatment period (12 weeks ± 3 days) and a post-treatment period (safety follow-up) (2 weeks ± 3 days). The total number of scheduled study visits will be 8.
