Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are healthy adults with BMI 18.0–32.0 kg/m2, no significant medical or psychiatric conditions, and not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Probably not a fit

Participants with certain preexisting conditions or those who do not experience any pharmacodynamic effects may not receive direct benefits.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 1, open-label, five-arm study in healthy adult volunteers. It examines pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics after giving multiple doses of upadacitinib, tofacitinib, and baricitinib. The trial aims to characterize safety, tolerability, and how the drugs are processed and act in the body. Participants are screened for health, and dosing occurs under close medical supervision with regular monitoring.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the research could improve understanding of how these drugs behave at different doses in healthy people, informing future development.

How similar studies have gone: Similar early-phase studies have explored pharmacokinetics and safety of JAK inhibitors in healthy volunteers with informative results.

* A female must not be pregnant, or breastfeeding and is not considering becoming pregnant, cryopreserving her eggs or donating eggs during the study or for approximately 30 days after the last dose of study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of epilepsy, any clinically significant cardiac, respiratory (except mild asthma as a child), renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, hematologic or psychiatric disease or disorder, two or more prior episodes of herpes zoster, or one or more episodes of disseminated herpes zoster, one or more prior episodes of disseminated herpes simplex (including eczema herpeticum) or any uncontrolled medical illness.

* Evidence of dysplasia or history of malignancy (including lymphoma and leukemia) other than successfully treated non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell, basal cell carcinoma or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
* History or evidence of active tuberculosis (TB) disease or latent TB infection.
* Participant has prior exposure to upadacitinib, tofacitinib or baricitinib within the past 90 days.
* Participant requires any over-the-counter and/or prescription medication, vitamins, and/or herbal supplements on a regular basis.
