About this study

Official title: A Single-arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Ability of Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis to Effectively Use a Reusable Electromechanical Autoinjector to Self-inject Etanercept

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) to use an experimental autoinjector to self inject etanercept (Enbrel®).

Read the detailed description

Study participants need to have been self-administering etanercept for greater than or equal to 6 months prior to screening. You will be in this study for about 9 weeks. This includes a 4-week screening period and a 5-week treatment period.

Being tested
Etanercept / Autoinjector A
Medical subject headings
Arthritis, Rheumatoid, Arthritis, Psoriatic

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Etanercept / Autoinjector ADrug

    Also called Enbrel®

    Autoinjector A, a hand-held, reusable electromechanical device, and a single-use, disposable cassette preassembled with an etanercept 50-mg liquid prefilled syringe (PFS).

Study groups in NCT01901185
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Etanercept / Autoinjector AExperimentalParticipants self-injected 50 mg etanercept subcutaneously using autoinjector A at the study center on Day 1 and then once a week from Weeks 1 to 5 (total of 6 injections).
Receives: Drug: Etanercept / Autoinjector A

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Successful Self-injections to Total Non-missed Injections

    The successful self-injection of etanercept using the Autoinjector A, as evaluated by the percentage of successful injections of the total nonmissed injections administered by participants in the non-health care setting during Weeks 1 to 5. Successful self-injection was assessed by Question 1 in the Participant Self-injection Questionnaire, which was completed by each participant after each self-injection. Successful injection is defined as the Autoinjector A signaling a complete injection and no liquid medication pooled on your skin.

    Measured: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Autoinjector A System Failures

    The autoinjector A and prefilled syringe (PFS)/cassettes used by the participants were examined at the end of the study by device engineers. System failure was defined as the failure of the Autoinjector A or PFS/cassette to meet the device design requirements during Weeks 1 to 5. The percentage of system failures is reported out of the total number of injection attempts during the study, including multiple attempts per week.

    Measured: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5

  2. Percentage of Errors in Each Step of the Self-injection Process

    For all the nonmissed injections recorded on the Participant Self-injection Questionnaire, the percentage of the following steps in the self-injection process that were not successfully completed out of the total nonmissed injections during Weeks 1 to 5 are reported. If multiple attempts were recorded, all the recorded attempts were considered, regardless whether it was a successful attempt or not. • Error Icon lit up (Question 2) • Could not load cassette successfully (Question 3) • Could not remove purple cassette cap successfully (Question 4) • Could not press start button to begin self-injection successfully (Question 5).

    Measured: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Etanercept / Autoinjector A in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis, run by Amgen at 13 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 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 4 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Nov 2014). 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?

Percentage of Successful Self-injections to Total Non-missed Injections (time frame: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5). 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 4 Sep 2018.
