NCT02296775

Brief Summary

This study will compare the plasma pharmacokinetic profile and the change in disease activity score in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis following treatment with two 1000 mg doses of DRL\_RI or one of two sources of rituximab (Rituxan® or MabThera®). Patients will also be monitored for safety, B cell depletion and recovery, and for the development of immune responses to the administered study drugs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to 336 Hours (AUC0-336) Post First Dose

    PK samples were collected pre-infusion; 3 hours post infusion; EOI; and at 1, 6, 24, 48, 168 hours post End of Infusion. A PK sample at 336 hours post EOI were also to be collected after the second dose.

    2 weeks

  • AUC0-∞ Over the Entire Course of Therapy (2 Doses) From Day 1 Through Week 16.

    PK samples were collected pre-infusion; 3 hours post infusion; EOI; and at 1, 6, 24, 48, 168 hours post End of Infusion. A PK sample at 336 hours post EOI were also to be collected after the second dose.

    16 weeks

  • Area Under Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) (Second Dose).

    PK samples were collected pre-infusion; 3 hours post infusion; EOI; and at 1, 6, 24, 48, 168 hours post End of Infusion. A PK sample at 336 hours post EOI were also to be collected after the second dose
