New hope for psoriatic arthritis sufferers: experimental drug sonelokimab enters final testing phase
NCT ID NCT06641089
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called sonelokimab for adults with active psoriatic arthritis who have not improved with or cannot take standard TNF-blocker medications. About 600 participants will receive either sonelokimab, a placebo, or an existing drug (risankizumab) for comparison. The main goal is to see if sonelokimab reduces joint pain and swelling by at least 50%.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sonelokimab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, sonelokimab could offer a new treatment option for people with psoriatic arthritis who have not responded to or cannot tolerate current TNF-blocker therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but it is still experimental. The drug may not prove more effective than existing treatments, and side effects are possible. Results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must be ≥18 years of age . 2. Participants have a confirmed diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) per the 2006 Classification for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) criteria with symptoms for ≥6 months before the Screening Visit. 3. Participants have active disease (defined by a 68 tender joint count \[TJC68\] of ≥3 and a 66 swollen joint count \[SJC66\] of ≥3). 4. Participants have current active plaque psoriasis (PsO) or a dermatologist-confirmed history of plaque PsO. 5. Participants test negative for both rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide at the Screening Visit. 6. Participants must have received 1 or more TNFα inhibitors for PsA or PsO and must have experienced an inadequate response to treatment with at least one TNFα inhibitor(s) given at an approved dose for ≥3 months or have stopped treatment due to safety/tolerability problems after ≥1 administration of a TNFα inhibitor. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants with a known hypersensitivity to sonelokimab or any of its excipients. 2. Participants with a known hypersensitivity, or any contraindication, to risankizumab or any of its excipients or component of the container. 3. Participants who have a diagnosis of chronic inflammatory conditions other than PsO or PsA. 4. Participants with a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. 5. Participants who have experienced a period of ≥3 consecutive weeks of unexplained diarrhea in the 24 weeks before the Baseline Visit. 6.
