GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is conducting a Phase 3 clinical study titled ‘A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Belimumab Administered Subcutaneously in Adults With Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Associated With Connective Tissue Disease (CTD)’. The study aims to determine if belimumab, when added to standard therapy, can stabilize or improve lung function and symptoms in patients with ILD linked to CTD, while maintaining a safe profile.
The intervention being tested is belimumab, a biological treatment administered subcutaneously. It is designed to work alongside standard therapy to potentially enhance lung function and alleviate symptoms in affected individuals.
This interventional study is randomized with a parallel assignment model, ensuring participants receive either the experimental treatment or a placebo. It employs a quadruple masking approach, meaning the participant, care provider, investigator, and outcomes assessor are all blinded to the treatment allocation. The primary purpose of the study is treatment-focused.
The study began on August 16, 2024, with a primary completion date yet to be announced. The latest update was submitted on September 2, 2025, indicating ongoing recruitment.
The results of this study could significantly impact GSK’s market position, potentially boosting investor confidence and stock performance if belimumab proves effective. This development is crucial as it could set GSK apart from competitors in the treatment of ILD associated with CTD.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
