What is being measured

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

  1. Lung function assessment:Subjects' lung function was assessed by FVC .

  2. Lung function assessment:Subjects' lung function was assessed by DLCO.

    Measured: DLCO will be evaluated simultaneously during the screening period, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks, and once every 24 weeks thereafter, From baseline up to 2 years,early withdrawal/termination of treatment, and when the investigator deems

  3. tLung function assessment:Visual simulation score was used to evaluate Physician's Global Asseessment(PGA)

    Measured: "Lung function assessment:The PGA is evaluated during the screening period and once every 12 weeks .From baseline up to 2 years.

  4. Safety evaluation indicator:Adverse Events

    Measured: From baseline up to approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GenSci048 in people with Systemic Sclerosis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (RA-ILD), run by Changchun GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 4 sites in China.

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 8 inclusion and 36 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in China. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact shengnan wen (15130499319, wenshengnan@gensci-china.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lung function assessment:Subjects' lung function was assessed by FVC . (time frame: FVC will be evaluated simultaneously during the screening period, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 36 weeks, 48 weeks, and once every 24 weeks thereafter, From baseline up to 2 years). The study lists 4 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 17 Jan 2025.
