Trial overview
Official title: A randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple doses of otelixizumab in rheumatoid arthritis subjects
Trial description: The assessment of otelixizumab in rheumatoid arthritis subjects will provide safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic information which will enable the identification of appropriate safe and well-tolerated dosage regimens to be used in clinical efficacy studies. This study will consist of a screening phase, followed by a treatment period where four cohorts of subjects will receive 5 daily intravenous infusions of otelixizumab. The cumulative dose will increase in each successive cohort and infusion rates can be adjusted based on signs and symptoms of cytokine release syndrome and to ensure the specified maximum infusion rate is not exceeded. Serial blood samples will be obtained for clinical laboratory testing, determination of pharmacodynamic markers, serum otelixizumab PK parameters, exploratory biomarkers and immunogenicity. Safety and pharmacodynamic data from the previous cohort(s) will be evaluated prior to dosing subsequent cohorts to ensure safety. Adverse events, laboratory values, vital signs and ECG’s will be monitored closely during this study. All subjects in the study will undergo long-term follow-up out to 48 months to monitor patient safety.

Accepts healthy volunteers
No
- Male or female subjects between 18 and 75 years of age inclusive.
- Female subjects of: a. non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 mIU/ml and estradiol <40 pg/ml (<140 pmol/L) is confirmatory]. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods in Section 8.1 if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2-4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method. b. Child-bearing potential and agrees to use one of the contraception methods listed in Section 8.1 of the protocol for an appropriate period of time to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use contraception for at least 2 weeks prior to dosing and for at least 60 days after the last dose.
- Subjects with a history of significant systemic involvement secondary to RA (e.g., vasculitis, pulmonary fibrosis, or Felty’s syndrome).
- A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result within 3 months of screening; current or chronic history of liver disease.
