Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
RA
Interventions
Device: Auto-Injector Device (AID)
Device: Pre-filled Syringe (PFS)
Registration Number
NCT02057250
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary Objective:

To collect real-use data of the sarilumab auto-injector device (AID) used by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participants.

Secondary Objective:

To compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) exposure of sarilumab administered by AID versus prefilled syringes (PFS).

Detailed Description

Total study duration up to 74 weeks: screening up to 4 weeks, AID assessment phase of 12 weeks, extension phase of 52 weeks and post-treatment follow-up of 6 weeks.

For participants not entering the extension phase, total study duration up to 22 weeks (screening, AID assessment phase and follow-up).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Validated AID Associated Product Technical Failures (PTFs)Baseline up to Week 12

A PTF was defined as any product technical complaint (PTC) related to the use of the AID that had a validated technical cause. Each participant was given a diary having questions related to participant's ability to remove the cap, to start the injection, to complete the injection and regarding confirmation of completing the injection. Participants were asked to answer the questions each time they self-inject the sarilumab. If the response was "no" to any of the first 3 questions, this was considered as a PTC. The used AID, for which PTC was reported, was sent to sponsor, examined and evaluated for the occurrence of a PTF.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Serum Concentration Versus Time Curve Calculated Using the Trapezoidal Method During a Dose Interval (AUC[0-tau]) for SarilumabWeek 0-2: pre-dose on Day 1, anytime post-dose on Day 3, Day 5, Day 8, Day 12, Day 15; Week 10-12: pre-dose on Day 71, anytime post-dose on Day 73, Day 75, Day 78, Day 82, Day 85

AUC(0-tau) is defined as area under the serum concentration versus time curve calculated using the trapezoidal method during a dose interval, where dose interval was 2 weeks. Serum concentrations of sarilumab were analyzed using validated enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
