Phase 1b Open-label Basket Trial of RAY121 to Inhibit Classical Complement Pathway in Immunological Diseases (RAINBOW Trial)
This Phase 1b basket trial will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of RAY121, a inhibitor of classical complement pathway, after multiple dose administration in patients with immunological diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), bullous pemphigoid (BP), Behçet's Syndrome (BS), dermatomyositis (DM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
