Study of Edecesertib in Participants With Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE)

Description

The goal of this clinical study is to test how edecesertib (formerly known as GS-5718) can be useful in treating Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE) in participants with CLE. Information on what is happening in the body relating to CLE, how the body processes, is affected by and responds to the study drug, and any study drug side effects will also be collected in this study.

  • * Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index activity - A (CLASI-A) score (excluding alopecia) of ≥ 8 and CLASI-A erythema score of ≥ 4 during screening and on Day 1. Individuals with SLE must have Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score of ≥ 4 at screening.
  • * Presence of at least 1 representative lupus skin lesion amenable to punch biopsy and individual willingness to undergo skin punch biopsy at 2 time points.
  • * Must have documented prior intolerance or inadequate response at any time (per investigator judgement) to protocol-specified treatments.
  • * Topical corticosteroids or topical calcineurin inhibitors.
  • * Oral corticosteroids.

  • * Have highly active SLE (including but not limited to lupus nephritis, neuropsychiatric SLE, and/or vasculitis).
