Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Signed Written Informed Consent
  • Diagnosed with relapsing consisting of 2 major or 1 major + 2 minor criteria as follows:
  • Major criteria
  • Proven inflammatory episodes involving auricular cartilage
  • Proven inflammatory episodes involving nasal cartilage
  • Proven inflammatory episodes involving laryngotracheal cartilage
  • Minor criteria
  • Ocular inflammation (conjunctivitis, keratitis, episcleritis, uveitis)
  • Hearing loss
  • Vestibular dysfunction
  • Seronegative inflammatory arthritis
  • Active RPC based on at least one of the following:
  • Active chondritis as defined as active inflammation, as observed by the Investigator, in auricular and/or nasal cartilage
  • Active tracheal and/or pulmonary disease documented by abnormal spirometry or chest computed tomography
  • Erythrocyte sedimentation rate ≥ 30 mm/hr or C-reactive protein ≥ 0.6 mg/dL
  • +13 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Sex and Reproductive Status
  • Women of child bearing age who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method to avoid pregnancy for the entire study period and for up to 10 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Women with a positive pregnancy test on enrollment or before administration of abatacept.
  • Target Disease Exceptions
  • Fulfills American College of Rheumatology criteria for any other connective tissue disease, such as but not necessarily limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), polymyositis or dermatomyositis, or rheumatoid arthritis, or possesses another distinct condition known to be associated with chondritis, such as Wegener's granulomatosis or Behcet's disease
  • Use of cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine A or tacrolimus within one month or at any time during administration of study drug
  • Use of biologic treatments within the timeframes indicated:
  • Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies or other immune cell-depleting therapy in the last 6 months or without evidence of appropriate lineage reconstitution
  • TNF antagonists, IL-1R antagonists, or co-stimulation modulators in the last 3 months
  • Any prior treatment with stem cell transplantation or other myeloablative therapy
  • Concomitant illness or disease activity which, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to require significant additional immunosuppressive therapy (e.g. \> 40 mg daily oral prednisone for asthma) during the course of the study
  • Medical History and Concurrent Diseases
  • Subjects who are impaired, incapacitated, or incapable of completing study-related assessments.
  • Subjects with current symptoms of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, or cerebral disease, whether or not related to RPC and which, in the opinion of the investigator, might place a subject at unacceptable risk for participation in the study.
  • +23 more criteria
