JADE201: a first-in-human test for rheumatoid arthritis
Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of JADE201 Administered Subcutaneously in Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Run by Jade Biosciences, Inc. · NCT07533955 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This first-in-human study tests a single dose of JADE201 versus placebo to see if it is safe and how it behaves in people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-70 with a confirmed rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis who meet BMI and weight criteria and can commit to the study schedule and procedures.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants who do not benefit may be those who do not respond to the drug or who discontinue due to adverse events or other constraints.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single ascending doses of JADE201 in adults with rheumatoid arthritis. About 36 evaluable participants (6 per cohort) will be enrolled across multiple sites and receive subcutaneous JADE201 or placebo. The study will determine safety signals and how the drug is processed in the body to guide future development in autoimmune diseases. Results will support subsequent clinical testing in autoimmune indications. The trial uses a randomized, inpatient design with careful monitoring for adverse events and laboratory changes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, JADE201 could provide a new treatment option for rheumatoid arthritis after further development.
How similar studies have gone: Phase 1 trials for similar biologics in autoimmune diseases have established safety and pharmacokinetic profiles, but this exact approach is novel for JADE201.
