...
17. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or positive HIV serology at screening,
18. Infected with hepatitis B or hepatitis C viruses.
19. Have evidence of active or latent or inadequately treated infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) as defined by the following:
a. A positive QuantiFERON®-TB Gold (QFT-G) In-Tube test or positive Mantoux/Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) tuberculin skin test performed at or within the 12 weeks prior to Day 1 is exclusionary; a negative test is required for eligibility. It is recommended that subjects with a history of Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) vaccination be tested with the QFT-G test since the Mantoux/PPD tuberculin skin test may be positive due to vaccination. See Section 7.3.5 for requirements for Mantoux/PPD tuberculin skin testing. A QFT-G or Mantoux/PPD tuberculin skin test is not required if the subject has previously received a documented adequate course of therapy for either latent or active TB infection or is currently receiving a documented adequate treatment for latent TB infection;
b. A history of either untreated or inadequately treated latent or active TB infection;
c. If a subject has previously received an adequate course of therapy for either latent (9 months of isoniazid in a locale where rates of primary multi-drug TB resistance are <5% or an acceptable alternative regimen) or active (acceptable multi-drug regimen) TB infection, neither a QFT-G test nor a Mantoux/PPD tuberculin skin test is needed, but a chest radiograph(s) (per local standard/guidelines) must be obtained if not performed within 12 weeks prior to Day 1. To be considered eligible for the study, the radiograph(s) must be negative for active tuberculosis infection as determined by a qualified radiologist. Documentation of adequate treatment for TB and negative chest radiograph(s) results must be obtained prior to Day 1. If the current incidence rates of multi-drug resistant TB infection in the locale are unavailable, an adequate treatment regimen should be defined as the regimen recommended by the health ministry or expert panel in the locale;
d. A subject who is currently being treated for active TB infection is to be excluded.
20. ANY of the following abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests at screening, as assessed by the study-specific laboratory and confirmed by a single repeat, if deemed necessary:
• Absolute neutrophil count of <2.5 x 109/L (<2500/mm3).
• Hemoglobin <10.0 g/dL or hematocrit <30%;
• Platelet count below the lower limit of normal (LLN) at Screening;
• Absolute lymphocyte count of <0.5 x 109 /L (<500/mm3);
• Estimated Creatinine Clearance <40 mL/min based on the age appropriate calculation, or serum creatinine >1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
• AST or ALT values >2 times the ULN;
• Total bilirubin >=1.5 times the ULN; subjects with a history of Gilbert's syndrome may have a direct bilirubin measured and would be eligible for this study provided the direct bilirubin is >= ULN;
• In the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, have any uncontrolled clinically significant laboratory abnormality that would affect interpretation of study data or the subject’s participation in the study.

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
End of trial (EoT) in a Member State (MS) of the EU: time at which it is deemed that a sufficient number of subjects have been recruited and completed the study as stated in the regulatory and ethics applications in the MS. Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated number in the CTA) by a MS is not a reason for premature termination but is considered a normal conclusion to the study in that Member State. EoT in all other participating countries: last subject last visit (LSLV). |
