About this study
Official title: A Multicentre, Parallel-group, Phase II, Randomised, Double-blind, 4 Arm Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of AZD1163 in Participants With Moderately-to-Severely Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (LaunchPAD-RA)
Phase II study in participants with moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) to evaluate efficacy and safety of AZD1163.
Read the detailed description
AZD1163 is a novel bispecific antibody that inhibits the activity of extracellular peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) enzymes, which are responsible for protein citrullination. In RA, citrullinated proteins lead to the production of pathogenic anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA).
This is a Phase II, randomised, double-blind, multicentre, 4 arm placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD1163 in ACPA + adults with moderate-to-severely active RA on standard of care (SoC) (conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs [csDMARDs] or tumour necrosis factor inhibitor [TNFi] +/- csDMARD).
The study will have a screening period followed by a randomisation period wherein approximately 320 participants will be randomised in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive study intervention.
Participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) injection of one of three different doses of AZD1163 or placebo, along with SoC until Week 24 followed by a safety follow-up (FU) period of 28 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing AZD1163 in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by AstraZeneca at 147 sites in 17 countries.
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 5 inclusion and 2 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 9 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 147 sites in United States, Japan, China, Mexico, Ukraine and 12 more countries. 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 AstraZeneca Clinical Study Information Center (1-877-240-9479, information.center@astrazeneca.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score-C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). 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 9 Oct 2026.
