Detailed Description: Not available

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: TERMINATED

Sex: All

Target Recruitment: 624

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must give written informed consent by signing an IRB/EC-approved Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to admission to this study
Patients who are being treated in Study C-788-006X
Patients who completed Studies C-788-010 or C-788-011 and did not withdraw due to adverse events
Patients who withdrew from Study C-788-010 at Month 4 or Month 5 because of a pre-defined lack of efficacy
Females of childbearing potential must be fully informed of the potential for R788 to adversely affect the fetus and, if sexually active, must agree to use a well established method of birth control during the study (oral contraceptive, mechanical barrier, long acting hormonal agent). These patients must not be lactating and must have a negative pregnancy test at the time of entry and at each laboratory determination.

Exclusion Criteria

The patient has a history of, or a concurrent, clinically significant illness, medical condition (other than arthritis) or laboratory abnormality that, in the Investigator's opinion, could affect the conduct of the study. Specifically, excluded are patients with the following:
1. unresolved Grade 2 or greater toxicity in a RA protocol studying R788
2. uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension;
3. recent (within past 2 months) serious surgery or infectious disease;
4. recent history (since enrollment in prior R788 study) of, or treatment for, a malignancy other than non-melanomatous skin cancer, or any history of lymphoma;
5. known to be positive for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV or Tuberculosis;
6. interstitial pneumonitis or active pulmonary infection;
7. known laboratory abnormalities: ALT > 1.2 x ULN, creatinine >1.5x ULN, an ANC <2,500/mm3 or 2.5 x 109/L, lymphocyte count < 600/mm3 or 0.6 x 109L, Hgb < 9 g/dL or 5 mmol/L, platelet count <125,000/mm3 or 125 x 109/L are excluded.
The patient has a history of substance abuse, drug addiction or alcoholism. Patients may consume up to 4 units of alcohol per week; however, alcohol should be avoided in the 72 hours prior to lab assessments. Patients who cannot reliably comply with this should be excluded. A unit of alcohol is defined as the following: Beer = 12 oz or 355 mL; wine = 5 oz or 148 mL; sweet dessert wine = 3 oz or 89 mL; 80 proof distilled spirits = 1.5 oz or 44 mL.
The patient is unable to report for clinical and laboratory monitoring as per protocol.

3	Fostamatinib Disodium (R935788)	R935788 100 mg tablet, orally, once-a-day
4	Fostamatinib Disodium (R935788)	R935788 150 mg tablet, orally, once-a-day

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of Patients Who Had at Least 1 Treatment Emergent Adverse Event in Any Category	Entry in extension to end of study, up to a maximum of 5 years. (Variable by subject - median duration of 3 years)	AE = adverse event, bid = twice daily, IP = investigational product, qd = once daily, SAE = serious adverse event

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
DAS28-CRP Score	3 years	The Disease Activity Score 28 using C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assesses the 28 joints RA commonly affects; the score includes the number of tender and swollen joints (out of 28), CRP level (a measure of inflammation in the blood), and the patient's global assessment of health (ranging from very good to very bad). These measures are then fed into a complex mathematical formula to produce the overall DAS on a scale from 1 to 10, where scores greater than 5.1 are considered to indicate active disease, scores less than 3.2 are considered to indicate with well controlled disease, and scores less than 2.6 are considered to indicate remission. bid = twice daily, CRP = C-reactive protein, DAS28 = Disease Activity Score based on a 28 joint count, n/a = not applicable, qd = once daily
HAQ-DI Score	3 years	Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index, a measure of physical function. The HAQ-DI score is calculated by summing the category scores from 8 sub-categories (ie, scores for patient ability in dressing and grooming, rising, eating, walking, hygeine, reach, grip and common daily activities) and dividing by the number of categories completed. The HAQ-DI score takes values between 0 and 3, with a higher score indicating greater disability. A HAQ-DI response is a reduction from baseline in HAQ-DI greater than or equal to the minimally important difference (0.22). BID = twice daily, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, OR = odds ratio, PO = orally, QD = once a day.
