August 1, 2018 updated by: Amgen

A Single-arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Ability of Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis to Effectively Use a Reusable Electromechanical Autoinjector to Self-inject Etanercept

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) to use an experimental autoinjector to self inject etanercept (Enbrel®).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Study participants need to have been self-administering etanercept for greater than or equal to 6 months prior to screening. You will be in this study for about 9 weeks. This includes a 4-week screening period and a 5-week treatment period.

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. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has diagnosis of RA or PsA and indicated for treatment with etanercept per the current label, based on history.
  • Subject is willing to self-inject per investigator judgement at screening.
  • Subject has no known history of tuberculosis.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Latex allergy.
  • Subject has any active infection (including chronic or localized infections) for which anti-infectives were indicated within 4 weeks prior to first study dose of etanercept.
  • Subject had prosthetic joint infection within 5 years of screening or native joint infection within 1 year of screening.
  • Other criteria may apply.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Etanercept / Autoinjector A
Participants self-injected 50 mg etanercept subcutaneously using autoinjector A at the study center on Day 1 and then once a week from Weeks 1 to 5 (total of 6 injections).
Drug: Etanercept / Autoinjector A
Autoinjector A, a hand-held, reusable electromechanical device, and a single-use, disposable cassette preassembled with an etanercept 50-mg liquid prefilled syringe (PFS).

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
Percentage of Successful Self-injections to Total Non-missed Injections
Time Frame: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5
The successful self-injection of etanercept using the Autoinjector A, as evaluated by the percentage of successful injections of the total nonmissed injections administered by participants in the non-health care setting during Weeks 1 to 5. Successful self-injection was assessed by Question 1 in the Participant Self-injection Questionnaire, which was completed by each participant after each self-injection. Successful injection is defined as the Autoinjector A signaling a complete injection and no liquid medication pooled on your skin.
Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Autoinjector A System Failures
Time Frame: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5
The autoinjector A and prefilled syringe (PFS)/cassettes used by the participants were examined at the end of the study by device engineers. System failure was defined as the failure of the Autoinjector A or PFS/cassette to meet the device design requirements during Weeks 1 to 5. The percentage of system failures is reported out of the total number of injection attempts during the study, including multiple attempts per week.
Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5
Percentage of Errors in Each Step of the Self-injection Process
Time Frame: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5
For all the nonmissed injections recorded on the Participant Self-injection Questionnaire, the percentage of the following steps in the self-injection process that were not successfully completed out of the total nonmissed injections during Weeks 1 to 5 are reported. If multiple attempts were recorded, all the recorded attempts were considered, regardless whether it was a successful attempt or not. • Error Icon lit up (Question 2) • Could not load cassette successfully (Question 3) • Could not remove purple cassette cap successfully (Question 4) • Could not press start button to begin self-injection successfully (Question 5).
Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Device Events
Time Frame: 9 weeks
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment or the device under study. The definition includes worsening of a pre-existing medical condition. A serious adverse event is defined as an AE that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria: • fatal • life threatening • requires or prolongs in-patient hospitalization • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity • congenital anomaly/birth defect • other medically important serious event. An adverse device effect is any adverse event related to the use of a medical device. Adverse device effects include AEs resulting from insufficient or inadequate instructions for use, malfunction of the device, or from use errors (including errors resulting from normal use, reasonably forseeable misuse or from intentional misuse) of the device.
