Immunogenicity and Safety of TNFa Kinoid in Rheumatoid Arthritis With Secondary Resistance to TNFa Antagonists

Brief Summary
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate that active immunization with anti-TNFα kinoid (TNF-K) is able to induce polyclonal anti-TNFα antibodies in RA patients who were previously treated with anti-TNFα mAb but have lost susceptibility to therapy.

- Male or female between 18 and 70 years of age at the time of the first immunization
- Active RA disease as evidenced by a Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS 28) ≥ 3.2.
- Current or past treatment with an anti-TNF antagonist (infliximab, adalimumab,etanercept, certolizumab, golimumab).
- A wash-out period before the first administration of the study product of at least ten weeks since the last administration of certolizumab or golimumab; at least eigth weeks since the last administration of infliximab; at least four weeks since the last administration of adalimumab or etanercept
- History of positive response defined as an ACR20 or DAS 28 decrease ≥ 1.2 or by the investigator opinion with previous TNFα antagonist treatment.

- Decrease in European League Against Rheumatoid (EULAR) score.
- Written informed consent .
You may not qualify if:
- Treatment with non-biological DMARDs within four weeks prior to first study product administration. MTX is allowed provided it is administered at as table dosage \< ou = 20 mg/week since at least 4 weeks.

- Known history of tuberculosis (TB).
- Suspicion of TB at chest X-rays at screening or within three months prior to first administration of study product.
- Suspicion of latent or active tuberculosis as defined by :
- Positive Mantoux/Purified Protein Derivative (PPD)test (\> ou = 5mm induration measured 48 to 72 hours after intradermal injection of tuberculin) at screening or within 30 days prior to first administration of study product.
- and/or positive interferon-γ (IFN γ) TB diagnostic test (as measured by the ELISpot method) at screening or within three months prior to first administration of study product.
- Positive for HIV, HCV or HBV including HBsAg and anti-HBc antibodies.
- Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine).
