NCT00126724

Brief Summary

The 13G01 clinical trial is a Phase I/II dose escalation study designed to be conducted in adults with inflammatory arthritis who have persistent moderate or severe swelling in one or more joints, without a disease severe enough to warrant a change in regimen for the next three months. The study will permit subjects who are concurrently on anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha antagonists. For subjects on disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), a stable regimen for inflammatory arthritis for the previous three months, with no changes in doses in the four weeks prior to screening will be required. The primary objectives are:

  1. 1.to evaluate the safety of intra-articular administration of tgAAC94 in subjects currently taking TNF-alpha antagonists, and
  2. 2.to evaluate the safety of repeat intra-articular administration of tgAAC94 (gene therapy vector).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or ankylosing spondylitis (AS) diagnosed according to established criteria.
  • Persistent moderate (grade 2) or severe (grade 3) swelling due to inflammatory arthritis in at least one peripheral joint eligible for injection.
  • For subjects with RA, an adequate trial of at least one disease-modifying drug (DMARD) prior to screening.
  • For subjects currently on DMARD(s), a stable regimen of inflammatory arthritis for the previous three months, with no changes in doses four weeks prior to screening.
  • Age greater than 18 years and less than 75 years at the time of screening.
  • Willingness to practice effective birth control measures during the study (through week 36), if male or female of reproductive ability.
  • Able to give written informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Disease severe enough to warrant a change in regimen for inflammatory arthritis in the next three months.
  • Discontinuation of etanercept in the past because of safety concerns.
  • Current use of anakinra (Kineret®)or abatacept (Orencia®).
  • Corticosteroid therapy at doses higher than the equivalent of 10 mg prednisone per day.
  • Steroid or hyaluronate injection in the target joint or receipt of an investigational agent less than four weeks prior to screening.
  • Class IV ACR functional status (Hochberg et al., 1992).
  • Any of the following laboratory values: Hemoglobin \<8.5 gm/dL, white blood cell count \<3500 per mm cube, platelet \<100 K/uL, creatinine \>2 mg/dL, bilirubin \>2 mg/dL, AST or ALT \>2 times the upper limit of normal, or abnormal coagulation profiles (\>2 seconds beyond upper range of normal PT or PTT).
  • Known HIV infection, known hepatitis C infection, or known positive serologic test for hepatitis B surface antigen.
  • Positive PPD, unless previously treated with appropriate prophylaxis.
  • Pregnancy or lactation, either at the time of screening or planned in the next 18 months.
  • Inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
  • Serious medical disease, such as severe liver or kidney disease, uncompensated congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within six months, unstable angina, uncontrolled hypertension, severe pulmonary disease or uncontrolled asthma, demyelinating neurological disease, history of cancer (other than cutaneous basal and squamous cell carcinoma) with less than five years documentation of a disease-free state, insulin-dependent diabetes, recurrent opportunistic infections or other concurrent medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study.
  • Unlikely to comply with protocol.
