E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

The primary objective is to demonstrate the superior efficacy of sirukumab monotherapy compared with adalimumab monotherapy in biologic naïve subjects with active RA who are intolerant to MTX, who are considered inappropriate for continued treatment with MTX or who are inadequate responders to MTX.

E.2.2

- Physical function
- Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity

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

Mechanistic Substudy, 3 December 2013:
This optional mechanistic substudy will be conducted in a limited number of consenting subjects to explore the effect of sirukumab versus adalimumab at the disease site, ie, the inflamed joint, and to explore novel epigenetic imaging tissue and blood markers. The substudy will provide unique data to advance the understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of action of sirukumab and its potential differentiation from anti-TNFα agents.

Objectives of the substudy:
- Assess the effect of sirukumab and adalimumab on synovial and systemic inflammatory markers and epigenetic markers
- Assess the effects of sirukumab and adalimumab on synovial vascularity as measured by Power Doppler Sonography (PDS) over time.

This substudy will only be conducted in selected countries.
