About this study

Official title: Personalized Targeted Therapies in Inflammatory Complex Multi Organ Disease

Inflammatory diseases may display atypical features making such patients impossible to classify. Management of these cases in daily practice cannot rely on the results of clinical trials nor on guidelines. DNA and RNA mapping have become major tools to understand and sometimes direct the treatment strategy in oncology. This study aims to test whether a precise analysis of molecular pathways in inflammatory, non classified diseases, can constitute a predictive tool of therapeutic efficiency

Read the detailed description

This is a phase IIb study. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of targeted treatments in patients displaying a non-classified, severe and resistant inflammatory disease. Targeted treatments for each patient will have been selected through an algorithm based on molecular analysis of specific altered inflammatory signaling pathway.

Treatments consist in targeted therapies approved in other indications (Kineret®, Humira®, Stelara®, Cosentyx®, Roactemra® and Rituximab®) that will be given once selected using molecular analysis and decision making procedure by the Scientific committee.

For each patient, one targeted treatment will be administered according to the SmPC procedure for a treatment period of 6 months.

Primary efficacy endpoint:

Response will be assessed at month 6 with a composite endpoint defined as improvement of at least 2 of the 3 following parameters:

  • 50% improvement of the systemic activity assessed by the clinician following a visual analog scale (0-10 mm),
  • and/or 50% improvement of cutaneous activity assessed by the involved skin surface area,
  • and/or 50% decrease or normalisation of biological markers of inflammation (either CRP, ESR or fibrin).

An independent adjudication committee blinded to the treatment received, will review primary endpoint for all patients based on clinical files and standardized photographs, to validate the response.

Other secondary criteria will be assessed. Overall, this study will require a molecular analysis done on patient's tissue, the final aim being to evaluate efficiency and tolerance of targeted treatments chosen in a personalized analysis when classification is impossible.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Composite clinico-biological evaluation

    Response will be assessed at month 6 with a composite endpoint defined as improvement of at least of 2 of the 3 following parameters:

    • and/or 50% improvement of cutaneous activity assessed by the involved skin surface area (according the rule of 9%). Standardised skin pictures will be done in order to centrally review cutaneous response.
    • and/or 50% decrease or normalisation of biological markers of inflammation (either CRP, ESR or fibrin)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Kineret, Humira and Stelara in people with Inflammatory Disease and Autoimmune Diseases, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Composite clinico-biological evaluation (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 May 2026.
