Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who have received 7 injections of LY2439821 subcutaneously in the 30-, 80-, or 180-mg dose cohorts, or 11 injections in the 240-mg loading dose/120-mg once-a-week maintenance dose group, and completed the follow-up period (14 weeks) in Study I1F-JE-RHAL ((NCT01253265).

  • Ambulatory male or female participants.

    • Male participants: Agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study including barrier contraceptives or a monogamous relationship with a partner who is not child bearing.
    • Female participants: Are women who test negative for pregnancy at the time of entry based on a pregnancy test and are not breast feeding. Women of child bearing potential must agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study.
  • Participants who have been treated with methotrexate (MTX) throughout Study I1F-JE-RHAL (NCT01253265). Bucillamine, sulfasalazine and/or hydroxychloroquine are allowed to be administered in addition to MTX. In such a case, the participant needs to have been on a stable dose of the drug(s) throughout Study I1F-JE-RHAL (NCT01253265) and I1F-JE-RHAM.
  • Participants who have given written informed consent approved by the Sponsor and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) governing the investigational site.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who have had, during Study I1F-JE-RHAL (NCT01253265), any safety event including having a recent, ongoing, or serious infection, a serious drug reaction, or any adverse event (AE) that caused discontinuation from treatment , that in the opinion of the investigator poses an unacceptable risk to participation in this study.

  • Participants who have any of the following abnormalities of clinical laboratory test results by Week 26 of Study I1F-JE-RHAL (NCT01253265):

    • Absolute neutrophil count <1000 cells/microliters (μL);
    • Lymphocyte count <500 cells/μL; or
    • White Blood Cells (WBC) count <2000 cells/μL

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [Clinically Significant Events]
Time Frame: Baseline through study completion (up to Week 56)
Data presented are the number of participants who experienced 1 or more AEs (all causalities and drug-related) and serious AEs (SAEs). A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events section of this report.

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
