February 7, 2017 updated by: Amgen

Open-Label Extension Treatment With Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Fusion Protein (TNFR:Fc) for Participating Patients in Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Fusion Protein (TNFR:Fc) Clinical Trials

This study was designed to provide all adult and pediatric arthritis patients (placebo and etanercept(TNFR:Fc) treated) who have participated in clinical trials with etanercept (TNFR:Fc) the opportunity to receive continued treatment with etanercept (TNFR:Fc). The primary objective of this study is to examine safety parameters.

Intervention / Treatment
Other: 1
Adult Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients on etanercept (TNFR:Fc) with well controlled arthritic symptoms will continue on the etanercept (TNFR:Fc) dose administered in their original protocol of enrollment. All other adults will receive 50 mg per week as two 25 mg subcutaneous (SC) injections at separate sites, either on the same day or 3 or 4 days apart. Pediatric patients ages 4 to 17 years will receive a 0.8 mg/kg per week dose (up to a maximum of 50 mg per week).
