Treatments Against Rheumatoid Arthritis and Effect on FDG PET-CT: TARGET

Treatments Against Rheumatoid Arthritis and Effect on FDG PET-CT: TARGET

Brief description of study

This research study is being done to test the effect, safety, and tolerability of the experimental drug JBT-101 in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We want to know if JBT-101 stops inflammation and how well JBT-101 is tolerated. The study will evaluate whether JBT-101 will decrease the pain associated with active arthritis or tendonitis. JBT-01 is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and can only be used in research studies. There are 6 study visits over 5 months. This study will compare JBT-101 to placebo which is a pill that doesn't have any drug in it. It is also double-blind means that both subjects and the researchers do not know whether a subject receives the study drug or a placebo. In case of an emergency, however, the study doctor can get this information.
