Trial Outcomes & Findings for To Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of Sarilumab Administered as Monotherapy in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) (NCT NCT02121210)

NCT ID: NCT02121210

Last Updated: 2017-06-20

Results Overview

ADA to sarilumab and anti-sarilumab neutralizing antibodies in serum samples were determined using a validated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay method. Percentage of participants with positive ADA during treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) period (time from first dose of investigational medicinal product \[IMP\] to last dose of IMP + 60 days) was determined. Persistent ADA Response: treatment-emergent ADA detected at 2 or more consecutive sampling time points during the TEAE period, where the first and last ADA positive samples were separated by a period of at least 16 weeks or if the last measured sample was positive. ADA samples were collected prior to IMP administration at Week 0 (baseline), Week 2, 4, 12, 24 and 30.

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 27 centers in 7 countries. A total of 201 participants were screened between 03 June 2014 and 20 October 2014.

Of 201 participants, 69 participants were screen failures due to exclusion criteria met and inclusion criteria not met. 132 participants were randomized in 1:1 ratio to either sarilumab 150 mg every two weeks (q2w) or sarilumab 200 mg q2w.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to Week 30 [End of study (EOS)]

Population: Analysis was performed on immunogenicity population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of sarilumab with at least one post-dose, evaluable ADA sample.

ADA to sarilumab and anti-sarilumab neutralizing antibodies in serum samples were determined using a validated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay method. Percentage of participants with positive ADA during treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) period (time from first dose of investigational medicinal product \[IMP\] to last dose of IMP + 60 days) was determined. Persistent ADA Response: treatment-emergent ADA detected at 2 or more consecutive sampling time points during the TEAE period, where the first and last ADA positive samples were separated by a period of at least 16 weeks or if the last measured sample was positive. ADA samples were collected prior to IMP administration at Week 0 (baseline), Week 2, 4, 12, 24 and 30.

Population: Analysis was performed on pharmacokinetic (PK) population consisted of all randomized population actually received at least one or partial dose of IMP, with at least one post-dose, non-missing serum sarilumab concentration. Number of participants analyzed=participants with serum sarilumab concentration assessment at specified time-points.
