Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Description of the safety profile in terms of adverse events, blood pressure, pulse, temperature, ECG (Electrocardiogram), physical examination, and safety laboratory variables.From Baseline up to 64 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Description of pharmacokinetics in terms of area under the serum concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration [AUC(0-t)] and from zero to infinity (AUC).From Day 1 Predose, 2h, 12h, 24h, day 7, week 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and week 64.
Description of pharmacokinetics in terms of area under the serum concentration-time curve from zero to the time of concentration at Weeks 6 and 12 [AUC(0-6w) and AUC(0 12w)].From Day 1 Predose, 2h, 12h, 24h, day 7, week 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and week 64.
Descriptions of pharmacokinetics in terms of systemic clearance (CL), volume of distribution during terminal phase (Vz), and volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss).From Day 1 Predose, 2h, 12h, 24h, day 7, week 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and week 64.
Description of pharmacokinetics in terms of Maximum serum concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (tmax), terminal rate constant(λz), terminal half-life (t1/2 λz).From Day 1 Predose, 2h, 12h, 24h, day 7, week 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and week 64.
Description of pharmacodynamics in terms of total interleukin 6 (IL-6) and free IL-6 (exploratory) in plasma and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) pre and post MEDI5117 or placebo administration and their corresponding change from baseline.From Baseline day -1 to week 64
Description of immunogenicity in terms of positive or negative for the presence of antidrug antibodies against MEDI5117 in blood.From Baseline day -1 to week 64
