About this study

Official title: Open-label Study to Assess the Antibody Response to Etanercept Liquid in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

The purpose of this study is to assess the antibody formation to Enbrel liquid in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess the rate of anti-etanercept antibody formation in a larger sample of subjects on liquid etanercept than the previous study, 20020378, in a minimum of 400 subjects receiving etanercept liquid for the first time, with and without concomitant MTX therapy. The rate of neutralizing antibodies to liquid etanercept will also be assessed.

Being tested
50 mg Etanercept, Enbrel liquid
Keywords
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Enbrel liquid, antibodies
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rates of anti-etanercept antibody formation to etanercept liquid with or without concomitant methotrexate (MTX) therapy at week 24

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rates of anti-etanercept antibody formation to etanercept liquid at week 12, and the rates of neutralizing antibodies at Weeks 12 and 24. Safety of etanercept liquid in RA subjects receiving 50 mg once weekly up to 24 weeks.

    Measured: 12 weeks and 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 50 mg Etanercept and Enbrel liquid in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Amgen.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rates of anti-etanercept antibody formation to etanercept liquid with or without concomitant methotrexate (MTX) therapy at week 24 (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00249041, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jul 2010.
