NCT ID NCT05979051

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new drug, SHR-1703, for people with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), a rare disease that causes inflammation in blood vessels. The trial will include 166 adults who have not responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if SHR-1703 can help reduce the need for steroids and bring the disease under control.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

SHR-1703 (a drug given by injection under the skin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for EGPA, potentially reducing the need for high-dose steroids and helping more patients achieve remission.

What could go wrong

This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with only 166 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug's safety and effectiveness are not yet proven, and side effects are possible.
