About this study

Official title: A Two-part, Randomized Partially-blinded, Parallelgroup, Placebo- and Active Comparatorcontrolled Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Photosafety of Repeated Oral Dose of SAR441566 in Healthy Adult Participants

This is a single center randomized parallel-group partially-blinded, 4-arm Phase 1 study to evaluate the phototoxic potential of two dose levels of SAR441566 treatment compared to placebo and the active comparator, ciprofloxacin, in healthy adults, 18 to 55 years of age.

There will be two parts:

  • Part I is a randomized placebo-controlled trial comparing sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light in participants treated with SAR441566 to those treated with placebo.
  • Part II is an open label arm consisting of participants treated with ciprofloxacin which induces mild phototoxicity and serves as a positive control.
Read the detailed description

The overall duration of the study for each participant will be up to approximately 48 days

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment part I: Photosensitivity Index (PI) at 10 minutes post UV irradiation under Condition 1

    The PI is calculated as the ratio of the minimal erythema dose (MEDbaseline) measured on Day -2 at 10 minutes post-irradiation to the corresponding MEDon-drug measured on Day 8 at 10 minutes post-irradiation.

    Condition 1 is Full range solar ultraviolet B/ultraviolet A (UVB/UVA) [290 to 400 nm] exposure.

    Measured: On-drug Day 8

  2. Treatment part I: Photosensitivity Index (PI) at 1 hour post UV irradiation under Condition 1

    The PI is calculated as the ratio of the minimal erythema dose (MEDbaseline) measured on Day -2 at 1 hour post-irradiation to the corresponding MEDon-drug measured on Day 8 at 1 hour post-irradiation.

    Condition 1 is full range solar UVB/UVA [290 to 400 nm] exposure.

    Measured: On-drug Day 8

  3. Treatment part I: Photosensitivity Index (PI) at 24 hours post UV irradiation under Condition 1

    The PI is calculated as the ratio of the minimal erythema dose (MEDbaseline) measured on Day -1 at 24 hours post-irradiation to the corresponding MEDon-drug measured on Day 9 at 24 hours post-irradiation.

    Condition 1 is a Full range solar UVB/UVA [290 to 400 nm] exposure.

    Measured: On-drug Day 9

  4. Treatment part I: Photosensitivity Index (PI) at 10 minutes post UV irradiation under Condition 2

    The PI is calculated as the ratio of the minimal erythema dose (MEDbaseline) measured on Day -2 at 10 minutes post-irradiation to the corresponding MEDon-drug measured on Day 8 at 10 minutes post-irradiation.

    Condition 2 is a UVA only [320 to 400 nm] exposure.

    Measured: On-drug Day 8

  5. Treatment part I: Photosensitivity Index (PI) at 1 hour post UV irradiation under Condition 2

    The PI is calculated as the ratio of the minimal erythema dose (MEDbaseline) measured on Day -2 at 1 hour post-irradiation to the corresponding MEDon-drug measured on Day 8 at 1 hour post-irradiation.

    Condition 2 is a UVA only [320 to 400 nm] exposure.

    Measured: On-drug Day 8

  6. Treatment part I: Photosensitivity Index (PI) at 24 hours post UV irradiation under Condition 2

    The PI is calculated as the ratio of the minimal erythema dose (MEDbaseline) measured on Day -1 at 24 hours post-irradiation to the corresponding MEDon-drug measured on Day 9 at 24 hours post-irradiation.

    Condition 2 is a UVA only [320 to 400 nm] exposure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SAR441566 and Ciprofloxacin in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Sanofi at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 16 Sep 2025. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Treatment part I: Photosensitivity Index (PI) at 10 minutes post UV irradiation under Condition 1 (time frame: On-drug Day 8). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Sep 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
