Blood sample study explores new target for inflammatory arthritis
NCT ID NCT03322618
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at blood samples from 24 people with axial spondyloarthritis (a type of inflammatory arthritis) and 12 healthy volunteers to understand how a receptor called KIR3DL2 contributes to inflammation. Researchers also tested whether a drug called IPH4102 could reduce inflammation in the lab. No treatments were given to participants, so there was no direct benefit from taking part.
