The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of goflikicept (GFC) and olokizumab (OKZ) in patients with Still's disease
This is an international, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of goflikicept (GFC) administered over 16-36 weeks Additionally, the study evaluates the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), immunogenicity, efficacy, and safety of GFC and olokizumab (OKZ) as the second-line therapy The study includes the following periods: 1. Screening period: up to 4 weeks 2. Treatment Period Eligible patients should be randomized to one of two treatment arms (in a 1:1 ratio): * Active Treatment Arm taking GFC * Placebo arm At the Day 7 assessment: * Responders to therapy are defined as patients who achieve or maintain low disease activity or achieve remission compared to baseline according to DAVID criteria, with the exception of arthritis * Non-responders in the placebo arm switch to GFC (Day 0 procedures of GFC therapy). Seven days after the first GFC dose (Day 7 procedures of GFC therapy), the investigator performs a response assessment. Patients who respond to the new therapy continue GFC therapy throughout the treatment period * Non-responders on GFC therapy (either after randomization or after switching from placebo to GFC) switch to Olokizumab (OKZ) (at a visit with procedures identical to Day 0). Seven days after the first dose of the second-line therapy (Day 7 procedures), the investigator performs a response assessment. Patients who respond to the new therapy continue OKZ therapy throughout the treatment period At the Day 28 assessment, response to therapy is defined as: * absence of fever * absence of typical skin rash * C-reactive protein (CRP) ≤ 10 mg/L * PtGA \< 5 cm * absence of arthritis Starting from Day 28, patients who have responded have a gradual reduction of the glucocorticosteroid (GCS) dose, with the goal of achieving inactive disease without GCS by the end of the study. In this case, the duration of participation is determined by the baseline GCS dose The final visit for patients completing the maximum treatment period is the Week 36 visit 3. Safety Follow-up Period (Weeks 8 / 22) During the safety follow-up period, patients are required to visit the clinical center for assessments at 4 and 8 weeks after the last dose of study treatment (for patients who received at least one dose of OKZ - at 4, 8, and 22 weeks), after which their participation in the study will be considered complete The maximum possible duration of study participation for each patient is 70 weeks
