What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

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.
