General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of tofacitinib on varicella zoster virus (VZV)-specific immunoglobulin reponses 6 weeks after zoster vaccination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on background methotrexate (MTX).
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
A Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) was responsible for ongoing monitoring of patient safety according to the Charter. Recommendations made by the DMC to alter the conduct of the study were forwarded to the Sponsor for final decision.

Recruitment
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Recruitment details |
Adult subjects ≥50 years with active RA, characterized by ≥4 tender/painful joints and ≥4 swollen joints at screening or baseline before vaccination, and characterized by a screening CRP˃3mg/L or Clinical Disease Activity Index score˃10 at screening or baseline before vaccination, and had ≥4 month treatment with MTX 15-25mg/week before screening. | ||||||||||||||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Screening details |
The zoster vaccine was administered at least 2 weeks (14 to 21 days) prior to initiation of CP-690,550 (tofacitinib) or placebo in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients on background methotrexate therapy. | ||||||||||||||||||

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a patient who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to Week 16 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.
