What is being measured

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

  1. Change on severity of symptoms at lest 20% at week 24

    Proportion of randomized subjects achieving American College Rheumatologic Score (ACR) at least 20% (ACR20) response at Week 24. ACR is a validated score that measure improvement after begining of therapy in arthritis. Minimum valure 20% represents te minimum improvement and ACR 75% to 100% represents the highest improvement.

    Measured: week 24 after randomization

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change of severity of symptoms at week 16

    Proportion of randomized subjects achieving American College Rheumatologic Score at least 20% (ACR20) response at Week 16. Minimum value is 0% and maximum is 100%

    Measured: week 16 after randomization

  2. Magnitude of change on ACR 50/70%

    Proportion of subjects achieving American College Rheumatologic Score (ACR) at least 50/70% from baseline to week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. Minimum value is 0% and maximum is 100%

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  3. Changes on disease activity

    Change from baseline in the DAS 28-joint count using Hs-CRP (DAS28-HsCRP) at week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The DAS28-CRP (Disease Activity Score in 28 joints using C-Reactive Protein) is a composite index used by rheumatologists to measure the disease activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). It evaluates inflammation through swollen/tender joint counts, a patient's overall health assessment, and a standard or high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) blood test. Minimum value is 0.96 no activity and maximum is 9.4 which means maximal activity

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  4. Changes on disability index

    Change from baseline in the HAQ-DI at week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) is a widely used patient-reported tool that measures a patient's physical functional ability and daily living limitations (often used for conditions like arthritis). It evaluates 20 daily activities across eight categories (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities). Minimum is 0 which means no disability and maximum is 3 which means maximum disability

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  5. Changes on dactilitis severity

    Change from baseline in Leeds Dactilitis Index-Basics at week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The Leeds Dactylitis Index-Basic (LDI-B) is a validated, objective clinical tool used to measure the severity and activity of dactylitis (inflammation/swelling of entire fingers or toes) in conditions like psoriatic arthritis. Minim value is cero (no activity) and maximum could reach around 3,000 which means maximum dactilitis activity

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  6. Changes on quality of life

    Change from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The HAQ-DI (Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index) is a widely used, standardized patient-reported questionnaire designed to measure a person's functional status and ability to perform daily living activities. It is frequently used to monitor conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other rheumatic disease. Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 3

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  7. Changes on psoriasis activity

    Change from baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75 and PASI 90; in patients with body surface area affected by psoriasis ≥3% at baseline) 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) is the standard clinical tool used by dermatologists to measure the overall severity and body coverage of psoriasis. It is commonly calculated in clinical trials and doctor's offices to track disease progression and treatment effectiveness. Minimum valaue is 0 (no activity) and maximum is 72 (Maximum activity)

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  8. Changes on tender joint count

    Changes on TJC68 Score from baseline to week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization. The TJC68 score (Tender Joint Count 68) is a standardized clinical measurement used in rheumatology to evaluate joint pain across 68 specific joints in the body. It is primarily used to assess the severity and peripheral arthritis activity of diseases like Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Minimum value is 0 and maximum is 68

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  9. Changes on patient's level of fatigue and its impact on daily life

    Changes on FACIT-Fatigue Score from baseline to week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization. The FACIT-Fatigue Scale is a 13-item questionnaire used to measure the severity of fatigue and its impact on daily activities. It asks patients to rate their fatigue-related experiences over the past 7 days on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Minimum is 0 and maximum is 52

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

  10. Frequency and severity of adverse events

    The frequency of AESIs evaluated by Full version of MEDRA Ver. 28.0

    Measured: week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CBP-0276 capsules 100mg in people with Arthritic Psoriasis, run by Clarent Biopharma, Inc. at 1 site in Mexico.

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 22 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 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 Mexico. 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 Pedro Gutierrez Castrellon, MD, PhD (5554198746, pedro.gutierrez@elemental.org.mx), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change on severity of symptoms at lest 20% at week 24 (time frame: week 24 after randomization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07706530, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 Jul 2026.
