NCT01850680

Brief Summary

Primary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of subcutaneously administered sarilumab in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are receiving concomitant treatment with methotrexate. Secondary Objective: To assess the pharmacokinetic profile of a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of sarilumab in Japanese RA patients.

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

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female Japanese who are 20 to 65 years of age
  • Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) ≥ 3 months duration
  • Treated for a minimum of 8 weeks with Methotrexate (MTX) and with a stable dose of MTX (6-16 mg/week) for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the screening visit

You may not qualify if:

  • Autoimmune or inflammatory systemic or localized joint disease other than RA
  • Women of a positive pregnancy test
  • Latent or active tuberculosis
  • Prior treatment with anti-interleukin-6 (anti-IL-6) or anti-interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) antagonist
  • Treatment with anti-TNF agents, as follows:
  • Etanercept: within 28 days prior to randomization
  • Infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, certolizumab pegol: within 42 days prior to randomization
  • Received any live, attenuated vaccine within 3 months prior to the randomization visit (eg, varicella-zoster, oral polio, rubella vaccines)
  • Significant concomitant illness such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular, renal, neurological, endocrinological, gastrointestinal, hepato-biliary, metabolic, pulmonary or lymphatic disease that would adversely affect the patient's participation in the study.
  • Received surgery within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit or planned surgery during the study
  • History of a systemic hypersensitivity reaction
  • The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
