About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Open-Label Biomarker Study of LY2127399 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Receiving Synovial Biopsies

This study will investigate how LY2127399 works in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are not adequately responding to methotrexate. Participants will receive LY2127399 via an injection(s) under the skin at 4 week intervals for up to 52 weeks. Key study procedures include biopsies of the lining of an inflamed joint and blood tests to measure RA activity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LY2127399 in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 4 sites in United States.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percent Change in Synovitis Scores From Baseline up to Week 16 (time frame: Baseline up to Week 16). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Apr 2018.
