E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of sirukumab as measured by the reduction of the signs and symptoms of RA in subjects with active RA who are refractory to an anti-TNF alpha agent. |
Valutare l'efficacia di sirukumab mediante misurazione della riduzione dei segni e sintomi di Artrite Reumatoide nei pazienti con Artrite Reumatoide attiva che sono refrattari all'agente anti-TNF alfa |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are to assess the following for sirukumab in subjects with active RA who are refractory to anti-TNF alpha agents: -Safety -Physical function -Population pharmacokinetics -Immunogenicity -Pharmacodynamics |
Valutare nei pazienti con Artrite Reumatoide attiva che sono refrattari agli agenti anti-TNF alfa i seguenti punti: - Sicurezza; - Funzione fisica; - Popolazione farmacocinetica; - Immunogenicità; - Farmacodinamica |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
OTHER SUBSTUDIES: The goal of the pharmacogenetics component is to collect DNA to allow the identification of genetic factors that may influence the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy, or tolerability of sirukumab and to identify genetic factors associated with RA. DNA samples may be used to help address emerging issues and to enable the development of safer, more effective, and ultimately individualized therapies.
