NCT02404558

Brief Summary

Primary Objective: To describe the safety and tolerability, including laboratory abnormalities following a single dose of sarilumab or tocilizumab administered subcutaneously (SC) as monotherapy in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Secondary Objectives: To describe the laboratory abnormalities (absolute neutrophil count \[ANC\], platelet counts, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein \[HDL\] cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein \[LDL\] cholesterol, and liver function tests \[LFTs\]) following a single dose of sarilumab or tocilizumab administered SC as monotherapy in Japanese patients with RA. To describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sarilumab and tocilizumab.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Percentage of patients with adverse events

    6 weeks

  • Percentage of patients with potentially clinically significant laboratory abnormalities

    6 weeks

  • Change from baseline in laboratory parameters (hematology and biochemistry)

    Baseline, Day 15

  • Weighted average of change from baseline in laboratory parameters (hematology and biochemistry)

    Baseline, Day 15

Secondary Outcomes (5)

    Day 1 to Day 43

  • Assessment of PK parameter: time to Cmax (tmax)

    Day 1 to Day 43

  • Assessment of PK parameter: area under the curve from zero time until the last measurable concentration (AUClast)

    Day 1 to Day 43

  • Change from baseline in laboratory parameters (hematology and biochemistry)

    Baseline, Day 29 and Day 43

  • Weighted average of change from baseline in laboratory parameters (hematology and biochemistry)

    Baseline, Day 29 and Day 43

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

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as defined by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2010
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria.
  • ACR Class I-III functional status, based on the 1991 revised criteria.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients less than 20 years of age.
  • Prior treatment with any biologic anti-interleukin-6 (anti-IL-6) or interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) antagonist.
  • Any parenteral or intraarticular glucocorticoid injection within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Treatment with prednisone higher than 10 mg or equivalent per day, or change in dosage within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), immunosuppressive agents, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists or any other RA-directed biologic agents within a certain amount of time prior to randomization.
  • Participation in any clinical research study that evaluated an investigational drug or therapy within 5 half-lives or 60 days of the screening visit, whichever is longer.
  • Active or suspected tuberculosis (TB) or at high risk of contracting TB.
  • Fever, or chronic, persistent, or recurring infection(s) requiring active treatment.
  • The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
