INCB047986 in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Phase 2

Terminated

• Conditions: Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Interventions: Drug: INCB047986; Drug: Placebo

• Registration Number: NCT02151474
• Lead Sponsor: Incyte Corporation

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of INCB047986, in subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Detailed Description

This will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 4 parallel treatment groups. Subjects will be screened for up to 28 days before study drug administration to ensure that all eligibility criteria are met. On Day 1, subjects will be randomized to 1 of 4 dose groups of 15 subjects each (INCB047986 4 mg, 8 mg, 12 mg, or placebo QD). Study drug will be self administered on Days 1 through 28. A follow-up telephone call to the subject to assess safety will occur at Day 42. A final safety and efficacy evaluation will be performed at the Day 58 visit.
