NCT ID NCT07254637

First seen Dec 08, 2025 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether tocilizumab, an anti-inflammatory drug, can reduce joint pain and improve daily life in people with a rare form of arthritis called CPPD. About 80 adults whose pain has not improved with standard treatments will receive monthly infusions of either the drug or a placebo for three months. The main goal is to see if pain levels drop significantly after treatment.
