A Study in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2 Dose-Ranging Study of Multiple Subcutaneous Doses of LY2439821 (an Anti-IL-17 Antibody) in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis on Concomitant DMARD Therapy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to help answer the following research questions, and not to provide treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):

• The safety of LY2439821 and any side effects that might be associated with it.

• Whether LY2439821 can help patients with active RA.

• How much LY2439821 should be given to patients.

Clinical Trial Description

Study I1F-MC-RHAK is a multicenter study in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis on concomitant conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. The study is a Phase 2 study with 2 parts. Part A is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging design and Part B is an optional, open-label extension design. Two patient populations will be evaluated in this study: biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug [bDMARD]-naive patients and tumor necrosis factor alpha-inadequate responder [TNFα-IR] patients. Patients in Part A receive multiple subcutaneous (SC) injections of LY2439821 (bDMARD-naive patients: 0 [placebo], 3, 10, 30, 80, or 180 mg; TNFα-IR patients: 0 [placebo], 80 or 180 mg) at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Patients in Part B receive SC injections of LY2439821 160 mg at Weeks 16, 18, and 20, and every 4 weeks thereafter through Week 60. Patients who complete both Part A and B have a total study participation of up to approximately 72 to 84 weeks. ;
