New pill aims to tame rare immune diseases
NCT ID NCT06878365
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug called BI 3000202 in 16 adults with rare type 1 interferonopathies, such as Aicardi-Goutières syndrome. Participants take a low dose for 4 weeks, then a higher dose for 36 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BI 3000202 (an experimental drug taken as tablets)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment that helps control type 1 interferonopathies, rare immune disorders.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small Phase 1 trial with only 16 participants. It primarily tests safety, not effectiveness, so it may not lead to a working treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female adult patients from ≥18 years (or alternative age for adults based on local regulations) to \<75 years. * Genetic diagnosis with mutations in the following affected genes: three prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1), ribonuclease H2 subunit A, B or C (RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, RNASEH2A), SAM And HD domain containing deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase 1 (SAMHD1), U7 Small Nuclear RNA Associated sm-like protein (LSM11), RNA component of the U7 snRNP (RNU7-1) for AGS; Coatomer subunit alpha (COPA) for COPA syndrome; TREX1, SAM And HD domain containing deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase 1 (SAMHD1) for Familial chilblain lupus (FCL); DNA nuclease 2 (DNASE2), Adenosine triphosphate synthase family AAA domain containing 3A (ATAD3A) for other type 1 interferonopathies. Genotype documented in medical history is sufficient for eligibility determination and does not require confirmation. Variant identification as "pathogenic" or "likely pathogenic" is preferred according to a joint consensus recommendation of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology. In the absence of such identification, clinical assessment of pathogenicity is required to be documented in the medical records. * Patients may be either: * On standard of care, provided it is on stable doses * Not on standard of care * If women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control. Non-vasectomised male trial participants whose sexual partner is a woman of childbearing potential must be ready and able to use male contraception. Exclusion Criteria: * Major chronic inflammatory or connective tissue disease other than selected type 1 interferonopathies, as assessed by the investigator. * Increased risk of infectious complications based on investigator's judgement. * Evidence of potential moderate to severe loss of kidney function. * Evidence of hepatic impairment. * Further exclusion criteria apply.
