To Evaluate the Blood Levels and Safety of IV and Subcutaneous CDP6038 in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis Using Methotrexate
- Conditions
- ArthritisRheumatoid Arthritis
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT01009242
- Lead Sponsor
- UCB Pharma
- Brief Summary
The primary objectives are to determine the relationship between blood levels of CDP6038 and suppression of C-reactive Protein (CRP) following single doses given as intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (SC) injection to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. The safety of CDP6038 will also be evaluated.
- Detailed Description
The secondary objectives of the study include determination of the absolute bioavailability of CDP6038 given via sc administration compared with iv infusion; assessment of the immunogenicity potential of single dose CDP6038 and assessment, on an exploratory basis, of other relevant systemic biomarkers and changes in clinical response.
