- Registration Number
- NCT01901185
- Lead Sponsor
- Amgen
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) to use an experimental autoinjector to self inject etanercept (Enbrel®).
- Detailed Description
Study participants need to have been self-administering etanercept for greater than or equal to 6 months prior to screening. You will be in this study for about 9 weeks. This includes a 4-week screening period and a 5-week treatment period.

- Subject has no known history of tuberculosis.
- Latex allergy.
- Subject has any active infection (including chronic or localized infections) for which anti-infectives were indicated within 4 weeks prior to first study dose of etanercept.

Group Intervention Description Etanercept / Autoinjector A Etanercept / Autoinjector A Participants self-injected 50 mg etanercept subcutaneously using autoinjector A at the study center on Day 1 and then once a week from Weeks 1 to 5 (total of 6 injections).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Successful Self-injections to Total Non-missed Injections Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5 The successful self-injection of etanercept using the Autoinjector A, as evaluated by the percentage of successful injections of the total nonmissed injections administered by participants in the non-health care setting during Weeks 1 to 5. Successful self-injection was assessed by Question 1 in the Participant Self-injection Questionnaire, which was completed by each participant after each self-injection. Successful injection is defined as the Autoinjector A signaling a complete injection and no liquid medication pooled on your skin.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Autoinjector A System Failures Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5 The autoinjector A and prefilled syringe (PFS)/cassettes used by the participants were examined at the end of the study by device engineers. System failure was defined as the failure of the Autoinjector A or PFS/cassette to meet the device design requirements during Weeks 1 to 5. The percentage of system failures is reported out of the total number of injection attempts during the study, including multiple attempts per week.
Percentage of Errors in Each Step of the Self-injection Process Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5 For all the nonmissed injections recorded on the Participant Self-injection Questionnaire, the percentage of the following steps in the self-injection process that were not successfully completed out of the total nonmissed injections during Weeks 1 to 5 are reported. If multiple attempts were recorded, all the recorded attempts were considered, regardless whether it was a successful attempt or not. • Error Icon lit up (Question 2) • Could not load cassette successfully (Question 3) • Could not remove purple cassette cap successfully (Question 4) • Could not press start button to begin self-injection successfully (Question 5).
