New injector tested for arthritis drug in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT07007091
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested how well risankizumab enters the body when given through an on-body injector compared to a standard prefilled syringe. 260 healthy volunteers received the drug by one of the two methods. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood and checked for side effects to see if the injector works as well as the syringe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Risankizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more convenient way to give risankizumab using an on-body injector instead of a syringe.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study in healthy people, not patients. It only checks how the drug moves through the body and basic safety, not whether it works for any disease.
