Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how adult and children's bodies use etanercept and how bodyweight influences how well etanercept works. This study will help us understand the proper dose of etanercept in obese children and adults.

Detailed Description

PRECISE is an open-label, single arm, single-center site study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of dosing interval-optimized etanercept in obese patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Approximately 30 patients with JIA or RA who are starting etanercept standard-of-care will take part in the study.

Eligible patients will have blood collections before and after starting the biologic of interest to assess PK and disease activity. Five (5) blood samples will be collected through a combination of clinic and home visits.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Volume of distribution (V)6 weeks

Volume of distribution at steady state as measured by PK sampling

Clearance (CL)6 weeks

Clearance at steady state as measured by PK sampling

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Median prediction error between observed and model predicted concentrations6 weeks

We will use PK/PD models to simulate drug concentration for each individual subject. We measure the error between simulated and observed plasma concentrations.

mean change in DAS28/JADAS27Baseline, 6 weeks

We will score disease activity using the DAS28 (RA) or JADAS27 (JIA) at baseline and 6 week follow up. We will measure the change in score over 6 weeks.
