Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–70 with CASPAR-confirmed active psoriatic arthritis who have failed or tolerated prior therapy and meet csDMARD/NSAID stabilization requirements.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not respond to TQH3906 or who do not meet eligibility criteria may not experience benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2, randomized, controlled trial compares TQH3906 capsules to placebo (and includes a tofacitinib reference) to see if the dose of TQH3906 affects the rate of ACR20 responses at Week 12 in adults with active PsA who have failed or tolerated prior therapy. Participants are 18–70 years old and must meet CASPAR criteria, have active arthritis at screening and baseline, and use a stable csDMARD or NSAID regimen if applicable. The study aims to enroll about 156 participants across multiple centers in China to characterize the dose–response relationship and safety profile. Primary endpoint is the proportion achieving ACR20 at Week 12.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience improved joint symptoms and function related to psoriatic arthritis.

How similar studies have gone: This study builds on prior dose–response work in similar agents; results from related PsA studies have shown potential benefit in this class.
