This crucial milestone marks a significant leap forward not only for Rise Therapeutics but also for the vast population grappling with the challenges of this chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder.

Conducted at multiple sites across the United States, the trial aims to enroll up to 36 participants, evaluating clinical activity through improvements in disease severity and utilizing key biomarker and pharmacodynamic assessments.
