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

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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 to 75 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed as having RA according to the revised 1987 ACR criteria for at least 6 months
  • Have moderate to severe active disease despite MTX therapy defined as having more than or equal to six swollen joints and more than or equal to six tender joints and either erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, Westergren) ≥ 28 mm/h or serum C-reactive protein ≥ 1.0 mg/dL
  • Must have been treated with MTX for at least 6 months prior to Randomisation and on a stable dose of MTX 10-25 mg/week given at least 4 weeks prior to Screening
  • Female subjects who are not pregnant or nursing at Screening and who are not planning to become pregnant from Screening until 6 months after the last dose of investigational product

Inclusion Criteria for Transition-Extension Period:

  • Have been enrolled and completed the scheduled Week 54 visit of the randomised, double-blind period of the SB2-G31-RA study
  • In the opinion of the Investigator, subjects who may benefit from continuing IP treatment (either SB2 or Remicade), understand the implications of taking part in the study and willing to participate in the transition-extension period

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have been treated previously with any biological agents including any tumour necrosis factor inhibitor
  • Have a known hypersensitivity to human immunoglobulin proteins or other components of Remicade or SB2
  • Have a positive serological test for hepatitis B or hepatitis C or have a known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus
  • Have a current diagnosis of active tuberculosis
  • Have had a serious infection or have been treated with intravenous antibiotics for an infection within 8 weeks or oral antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to Randomisation.

  • Have any of the following conditions

    1. Other inflammatory or rheumatic diseases.
    2. History of any malignancy within the previous 5 years prior to Screening
    3. History of lymphoproliferative disease including lymphoma.
    4. History of congestive heart failure
    5. Physical incapacitation (ACR functional Class IV or wheelchair-/bed-bound).
    6. History of demyelinating disorders.

Exclusion Criteria for Transition-Extension Period:

  • Have been withdrawn from the SB2-G31-RA study for any reason
  • Have had any significant medical conditions, such as an occurrence of a serious AE (SAE) or intolerance of SB2 or Remicade during the randomised, double-blind period of the SB2-G31-RA study which may render the subject unsuitable to participate in the transition-extension period, at the discretion of the Investigator

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.
